Samsung NX 100: A mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with a 20-50mm F3.5-5.6 ‘compact zoom lens’, it utilises a 14.6 megapixel sensor, and an OLED screen. It’s compact, but you will miss the in-built flash and the lack of an optical viewfinder. The i-Function lens functionality -- an ‘i-Fn’ button on the top-left that lets you to spin a ring on the lens to change settings easily-definitely the coolest feature on the camera.

Notion Ink Adam: This much anticipated 10-inch tablet from Bengaluru-based Notion Ink, has been hotly discussed mainly for its dual-benefit Pixel Qi screen, which allows you to turn the backlight off on the LCD screen, rendering a clear display like the Amazon Kindle’s E Ink version. Best part? It’s perfect for reading even in bright sunlight, and indoors, you can watch videos on the regular backlit LCD screen.

LG Optimus 7: This phone houses a 1 GHz snapdragon processor, and a Microsoft Windows phone 7 operating system. A 3.5 inch TFT display screen, capacitive touch screen functionality, a 480 x 800 pixel resolution and a very QWERTY keyboard make it quite a force to reckon with. Connectivity options include Wi Fi, GPRS and EDGE, while the 5.0 megapixel camera, comes with a cool geo-tagging facility and an LED flash. It doesn’t end there -- there’s also a digital compass and organiser. We like.
