With the highly popular and loved gadget, iPad, Apple has bounced back to its superior place this year and snatched the number one position in Time’s list of top 10 gadgets of 2010. Last year Apple was beaten by the Motorola Droid as the top-ranking status gadget.
About the amazing success of the iPad, Time's Doug Aamoth wrote: "It's not the first touchscreen tablet in the history of computing, but it's easily the most successful so far. With 3 million iPads sold in their first month alone and a market for interactive magazines and newspapers created almost overnight, Apple finally managed to make tablet computing cool."
The Time magazine, which last year said that the Droid represented "Android's first credible challenge to the iPhone," recently said that 2010 was a big year for Apple.
Other than the iPad being acknowledged the top-most status gadget for the year, Apple's newly-launched 11-inch MacBook Air bagged the third spot, while the iPhone 4 ranked sixth and the new streaming Apple TV was placed at No. 7 on Time's list.
Meanwhile, Google also had a good year, and apparently gave Apple a run for its money. The second spot on the Time's top 2010 gadgets list was bagged by the Samsung Galaxy S Android smartphone; while the Google TV, specifically the Logitech Revue, featured in the fourth place. In addition, Google's own Nexus One beat the Apple iPhone 4, bagging the fifth place - one spot ahead of the new Apple handset.
