New Delhi: In 2013, we saw various big tech launches: both in terms of hardware (HP's Chromebook 11, Nintendo's Wii U console, the Surface tablet) and software (iOS 7, Android KitKat, BB OS).
While most of the new products were basically an improvised versions of previously launched devices, only a small chunk was comprised of new ones. Here are some that rocked in 2013:
iPad AirThe Air shows us what 2013 was mostly about: improvements. If Apple's new iPhones were totally underwhelming, it made up with the iPad Air.
This is an overhauled iPad that looks like a big iPad Mini. It's the lightest 10-inch tablet around. It's super-thin, though at 7.5 mm it's beaten by the FTV-model-like Sony Xperia Tablet Z (6.9 mm).
Sadly, the iPad Air is way overpriced, at Rs.51,900 in India for the 32 GB cellular model. And it retains its 5 Mp camera, instead of moving up to the iPhone 5's 8 Mp. But it's stunning (complete with Retina display), packs iWorks and other great software, and works superbly well - retaining its 8-10 hour charge despite the smaller battery.
