10 of the Best Upcoming Gadgets for 2012
Apple iPad 3
No surprises here – you voted the iPad 3 your most wanted future gadget in the 2011 Stuff Gadget Awards. From the moment Apple launched the iPad 2, iPad 3 speculation has been in serious overdrive.
2011 saw some great efforts from the Android camp, including Asus' original Transformer and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 – but we're expecting Apple's next iPad effort to take things to a whole new level.
An eye-slicingly sharp 2048 x 1536 pixel 10in screen, a quad-core Tegra 3-baiting A6 processor and a carbon fiber case are just some of the rumored specs for the iPad 3 that could see it setting the gold standard for tablets once again. Previous iPad launches point to a February or March release, so we're hoping it'll be putting in an appearance soon.
PlayStation Vita
Dubbed the "PS3 in your pocket," PlayStation's next-gen Vita handheld is a pocketable gaming powerhouse. With a quad-core ARM 9 processor feeding a 5in OLED touchscreen, a tactile back panel and dual cameras for augmented reality gaming, one thing is clear – Sony means business.
Microsoft Windows 8
Microsoft's next OS has already tantalized our taste buds by strutting its stuff in a developer preview – and you can see just how much by reading our first look review.
Samsung Galaxy III
Samsung's Galaxy S II certainly made its mark when it showed up on the smartphone scene – and it's still the best Android phone to buy. It's so good we named it our 2011 Phone of the Year.
Apple TV
Not content with dominating the smart phone and tablet markets, Apple has its sights set on our living rooms. The future of TV, according to the rumors swirling around Cupertino, is AirPlay, mobile device synching and gesture controls.
Amazon Kindle Fire
Amazon may not have given the official nod, but its first stab at the crowded Android tablet game could be winging its way to the UK in January… if the rumours are to be believed.
The Kindle Fire is certainly no iPad killer, in fact it's more of an anti-iPad, primarily concerned with providing a 3G-free mobile experience that's less about genre-shattering computing and more about staying amused on the train.
iPhone 5
It's fair to say there was widespread disappointment among Apple fanboys when Apple lifted the lid on the iPhone 4S as opposed to the iPhone 5 we were all secretly hoping for.
Nokia Lumia 900
Nokia gained back some of its cool cred towards the end of last year when it unveiled the Windows Phone 7-toting Lumia 800. Despite the paint barely drying on Nokia's latest and most excellent foray into WP7, an super-sized successor – complete with a 4.3in screen – is rumoured to launch at CES, the world's biggest consumer electronics show held in Las Vegas.
Netflix
The popular US video-on-demand service that offers thousands of films and TV shows for a monthly fee is crossing the pond in a bid to tempt us into signing up to its unlimited streaming service.
Nintendo Wii U
The follow up to Nintendo's hugely popular Wii console is going to give the Wii a long overdue facelift. The Wii U sports a slate controller that acts as a second window for creative new gaming views and accepts touch input for zany control options. Meanwhile, the Wii U will treat your TV to HD graphics equalling the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Nintendo promises its next-gen console will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3, and Ninty's USA president Reffie Fils-Aime has gone on the record as stating that the Wii U won't be launching till after April 1.
MOVIE
Here are five of the movies all moviegoers should watch out for this year.
1. UNDERWORLD: Awakening
After the success of Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Kate Beckinsale stars again in the vampires-vs-werewolves themed movie Underworld: Awakening as the lead role vampire warrioress Selene who escapes from imprisonment and into a world where humans have already discovered the existence of vampires and Lycan clans, and are on a battle to exterminate both of the immortal species. Selene leads the battle against the humans.
2.THE AVENGERS
Love the movie Thor? Or can’t get over both the Iron Man films? Did you get hooked on the movie The Incredible Hulk? Or do you keep watching Captain America over and over again? If you answered yes to any of the questions—or to all of it—the year 2012 is the year for us who love these movies and these superheroes. Everyone would agree that each movie can stand on its own—each movie’s success is a resounding proof—but merging all of them in one spells M-A-R-V-E-L-O-U-S.
Marvelous indeed, the movie, based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name, is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. What made it more exciting are the star-studded cast including Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.
In the movie, S.H.I.E.L.D, a peacekeeping organization under Nick Fury, drafts Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America and Thor to save the world.
3. MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED
It was six years ago when Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the Hippopotamus (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), on their way to a preserve in Kenya from the Central Park Zoo, found themselves on an island off the coast of Africa in Madagascar. In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the crew tries to return to New York City but their plane unexpectedly landed in the heart of Africa.
Now, our favorite animals from Central Park will make us laugh our hearts out once again in a 3D escapade in Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, wherein Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman attempts again to go home to New York but ends up in Europe, linked up with a traveling circus and will be pursued by the police.
4. PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER
If you’re a fan of Percy Jackson of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series, and Elena Gilbert of The Vampire Diaries, this movie is the one to watch out for this year. Perks of being a Wallflower, based on the novel of the same title authored by Stephen Chbosky, includes Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev in the lineup. The plot will revolve around a shy and unpopular teenager who describes his existence through writing a series of letter sent to anonymous person and explores the awkward phase of his life called adolescence.
5. COMRADE
In the Harry Potter movies we’ve come to love the actors who played the characters from the books and brought it to the big screen; and one of the British actors every Potter fan loves is the funny, witty, charming, bestfriend-you’d-love-to-have, ginger boy named Ron Weasley played by Rupert Grint.
We sure miss him as Harry’s ever so loyal sidekick but this man will prove his versatility in acting as he shifts from the magical world to a battlefield in the anti-war movie, based on true events, Comrade.

Microsoft Windows 8
Microsoft's next OS has already tantalized our taste buds by strutting its stuff in a developer preview – and you can see just how much by reading our first look review.
Its Windows Phone 7-style Metro UI offers a new level of interactivity for both PC and tablet users, promising an abundance of new features like Kinect for Windows for gesture based control, HTML5 applications which will make full use of online cloud services and ARM chip support – a clear sign Microsoft is taking its tablet efforts very seriously this time round.
Windows 8 is expected to launch its double attack on the PC and tablet world with a beta arriving in February – and an official launch towards the end of the year.
Samsung Galaxy III
Samsung's Galaxy S II certainly made its mark when it showed up on the smartphone scene – and it's still the best Android phone to buy. It's so good we named it our 2011 Phone of the Year.
Now, with the Galaxy S II almost approaching its first birthday, word on the virtual street suggests its successor – the appropriately named Galaxy S III – will come complete with a quad-core engine, 2GB of RAM, a 4.6in screen and a whopping 12MP camera.
Expect the Galaxy S III to be unveiled at the end of February during Mobile World Congress – and expect it to be more powerful than ever.
Not content with dominating the smart phone and tablet markets, Apple has its sights set on our living rooms. The future of TV, according to the rumors swirling around Cupertino, is AirPlay, mobile device synching and gesture controls.
Clearly the Apple TV will be more than just your average smart TV, with purported specs including the powerful A6 processor destined to arrive on the iPad 3, a giant Retina Display courtesy of Sharp and voice controls handled by the iPhone 4S Virtual Assistant, Siri.
Not only does iTV – as it has been dubbed – look set to revolutionise the television industry in the same way it has with the smart phone market, but Apple could be trying to engineer a shift away from traditional broadcast and satellite TV channels, if the rumors about Cupertino trying to buy up Premier League football rights are anything to go by.
Amazon Kindle Fire
Amazon may not have given the official nod, but its first stab at the crowded Android tablet game could be winging its way to the UK in January… if the rumours are to be believed.
The Kindle Fire is certainly no iPad killer, in fact it's more of an anti-iPad, primarily concerned with providing a 3G-free mobile experience that's less about genre-shattering computing and more about staying amused on the train.
As long as you don't mind living your life in the cloud and compromising a little with Gingerbread 2.1, Amazon's colour tablet may very well be worth waiting for – especially if it's still half the cost of the iPad when it launches. There are high hopes for a January release. We're waiting with bated breath – in the mean time, check out our review of the Kindle Fire.
iPhone 5
It's fair to say there was widespread disappointment among Apple fanboys when Apple lifted the lid on the iPhone 4S as opposed to the iPhone 5 we were all secretly hoping for.
September could see the release of what feels like an overdue handset, but considering there was a 16-month gap between the release of the iPhone 4 and 4S – throwing a spanner into the traditional summer release pattern – Apple may not be gunning to relase an iPhone 5 so soon after the last model.
But a 4in screen, quad-core processor, thinner chassis, NFC and an integrated SIM sound worth the wait, don't you think? Want all the rumours so far? Our rumor round-up should bring you up to speed.
Nokia Lumia 900
Nokia gained back some of its cool cred towards the end of last year when it unveiled the Windows Phone 7-toting Lumia 800. Despite the paint barely drying on Nokia's latest and most excellent foray into WP7, an super-sized successor – complete with a 4.3in screen – is rumoured to launch at CES, the world's biggest consumer electronics show held in Las Vegas.
Netflix
The popular US video-on-demand service that offers thousands of films and TV shows for a monthly fee is crossing the pond in a bid to tempt us into signing up to its unlimited streaming service.
Attempts to woo us begin by offering the first month for free – like LoveFilm - as well as unlimited streaming, which means you can watch as many movies as you like without data restrictions.
Netflix will also throw up suggested viewing based on the stuff you and your friends like to watch. It'll be available on on the iPhone, iPad and Android, alongside the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 and Netflix is currently negotiating for its app to be included on smart TVs.
Nintendo Wii U
The follow up to Nintendo's hugely popular Wii console is going to give the Wii a long overdue facelift. The Wii U sports a slate controller that acts as a second window for creative new gaming views and accepts touch input for zany control options. Meanwhile, the Wii U will treat your TV to HD graphics equalling the PS3 and Xbox 360.
