The 100 Best Products of the Year

What magazines do you read to stay current with technology? I have several subscriptions but two are my all time favorites: Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine and PC World. Over time, you just get into a "groove" for finding quality reading that is informative, interesting and most importantly INTERESTING.

Today, I am giving a "plug" to PC World's July issue and Alan Stafford's article on The 100 Best Products of the Year

Powerful computers, handy services, tiny utilities, mammoth HDTVs--our editors' top picks include all these and a whole lot more. Plus: the worst products of all time.

If you have not read it, you should...I think you will like! They get thousands of products to evaluate with each saying they are the best. Of course, some folks are clearly on "Cloud 9"! The folks at PC World spent countless hours looking at these products and some creations clearly stand out as the best. So PC World has compiled a list of the 100 best products of the year.

In part, Alan said the following:
We rated each candidate on its design, performance, and specifications. We generally did not consider price in our evaluations; instead, we looked for products that represent the cream of the crop. But in compiling our list, some products were such great bargains that we couldn't ignore them. Of course, ranking laptops and Linux distributions in one place is tricky, but we used the same scoring system for each candidate and assessed them as consistently as we could. This year we have also assigned each candidate an "impact" score, to recognize significant products that changed the technology landscape. And last, we ranked every World Class award winner by its final score, creating our list of the year's top 100 products.


Check out the 100 Best Products here and see if they will allow you to Experience Mobility at a higher level. My guess is that there are a few you will love!
