The gadgets that received huge reception in 2011 – Part 3

3. Ice Cream Sandwich

Not only iOS 5 got a big reception in iPhone 4S but Google release a new version of its trademark operating system that was an upgrade to the predecessors. Although it sprung a learning curve but it is better software nonetheless.

Until Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich arrived on the scene, Google’s ubiquitous smartphone interface suffered from a fractured, scatterbrained implementation across many devices from many manufacturers. With ICS, Google wants to unify the smartphone and tablet
form factors, so that Android looks like Android on any screen size. ICS has yet to appear on many devices, but when it does, we’ll be thrilled. For now, know that ICS includes such novelties as the capability to unlock by looking at your face. (Get a full
Ice Cream Sandwich walkthrough in this slideshow.)

4. Apple iPad 2

iPad 2 is the second Apple product which made the list. Although there was no need releasing the new version of the tablet as the first one hit the ball out of the park. However, as it goes with the Apple culture, the new one was on the card and it was even
more audacious.

You could argue that the iPad 2 is little more than an original iPad updated to fix glaring omissions. But no one can deny that this version–thinner, faster, and with two cameras–rules the tablet kingdom. With 80 percent of the market share at last count,
the iPad 2 managed to ward off every major tablet competitor in 2011, and sets the gold standard for the entire tablet category. With rumours of an imminent iPad 3 and the Kindle Fire nipping at its heels, though, this tablet is likely enjoying the last months
of its tenure on top.
