Tom's Top 5: Most wanted products

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 – running time 04:31

What gadgets are you lusting after according to <a href="http://www.gdgt.com/">GDGT.com</a>? We asked them to turn over the innermost secrets of their database so we could get a peek at what gadgets are your burning desires. Turns out phones. But which phones? And what are the exceptions?

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Tom's Top 5. I'm very happy to be joining up with Revision 3 for a weekly countdown of all topics great and geeky. Expect a lot of tech product countdowns, some scifi countdowns and just plain off the wall weird lists.

This week is the first of what I hope to be many collaborations with GDGT.com. GDGT is a website where folks can mark what gadgets they have and what gadgets they want in an effort to keep track of all this tech madness and make sure we're all achieving our techie dreams.

So I asked the fine GDGT folks to give me a little peek into what tech people are most softening marking as "want" in their GDGT lists. Turns out it's mostly phones. No big surprise there. But you'll have to watch to see just which phones they are!

And don't forget to head into the Top 5 forums to answer the stupid trivia question for a chance to win the Belmont-touched iPhone case!

Got an idea for a Top 5? Tell it to us in the forums or send me a reply on twitter to acedtect.
