2010 was a pretty big year for technology, with Android going from zero to hero, and Apple releasing a line of interesting new products. I want to give you the top five pieces of tech that I think were the best of 2010, in ascending order. Enjoy! here

Those legs I heard about on Top Gear quite a while ago I think...

The ford car is impressive, but I wonder how long the charge would last at top speed. That said, still not a car I'd take on a cross country trip with me... LoL.

With electric cars, do they do better if you let the charge run down? Or can you charge up from any level? If it's the later- cool. If it's the former... eh...

descriptions would have been helpful

The most interesting of those to me was the RCA Airpower thing. It extracts EMF energy from WiFi signals to charge your (phone) battery.

That's so interesting because wireless distribution of power was one of Tesla's ideas, about 100 years ago.

You should write the next article. You have definitely proven your worth. :)

Thanks for posting this. The author of the article should have included more information.

[windyctyprog]

Indeed. Thanks.

A laptop-sized control pad with a tiny iPhone-sized screen is completely worthless.

It would have been logical to put some commentary to accompany the photos. A few of these I have no clue what they are or do.

[darthmaul]

01:27 AM on 01/10/2011

Exactly. A very poorly crafted article. "Look, a laptop! So, what's it do that's new?"

[Counterglow]

12:55 AM on 01/10/2011

Great...another useless slide show with such minimal descriptions of the devices that it's impossible to tell whether they're anything more than nicely-packaged garbage. Great work. Keep it up. Freakin' ijits.

[Mikeystyle]

11:49 PM on 01/09/2011

How are we supposed to rate these products when there's no description under the photos telling us whe the he11 we're looking at?

[hotsparks]

11:47 PM on 01/09/2011

Very informative, and these do what exactly???????? The writer should get as much of a promotion. Try write it again and I will be back in a couple of days.

With a Cyberdyne product with HAL in its name, what could possibly go wrong?

[jws2346]

11:45 PM on 01/09/2011

Wow, that Samsung 9 lappy is one fine lookin' jewel? (say agin', air what?)

[ohsaydidyousee]

11:32 PM on 01/09/2011

I thought the best...of the best products of CES 2011 was the telepathic ink used to describe these awesome new gadgets...

[darthmaul]

01:29 AM on 01/10/2011

It's a test. You have to use "The force."

[getbackjack]

04:47 PM on 01/10/2011

Now that was good!

[AmericaninIndia]

Me like pretty pictures with no explanation about products.

Mmmm...pretty pictures....

What'd'ya know. The very first commenter has the exact same gripe as I do. Maybe Huffpo should start thinking before it does this. By the way, if you're really in India, I recommend the book Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts

[metropolitan]

11:32 PM on 01/09/2011

same thought that passed through my head. if these are new products with new concepts, we have nothing to at least guess what they are.

[AmericaninIndia]

01:54 PM on 01/13/2011

Thanks! Read it--great book. You should also read _Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found_.
