2007 brought us tons of goodies for everyone to enjoy. Let’s see the top 10 best products that were released this year in no particular order, but definitely Apple-related. Oh, and these make great gifts, too.
Pixelmator. ($59) Pixelmator was very much hyped, and really delivered: it’s one beautiful image editor that also packs a lot of power under its hood — but won’t break the piggy bank.
iPhone. ($399) Despite its shortcomings, it’s the gadget of the year. Enough said.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. ($129) It’s pretty much a tradition by now: every couple of years Apple releases an update to Mac OS X that’s named after a big cat, and people rush out to buy it. When it’s installed, they love it and hate it at the same time. But yes, technically-speaking, each version is better than the last.
3G iPod nano. ($149-$199) When the iPod mini first came out, it secured its place as the best-selling iPod. Then, evolving its way to the nano, you still get the best-selling iPod to date. And this one’s better than ever with a bigger screen in a smaller package that also does video!
Coda. ($99 $79) Many web designer tools packed into one app. Perfect.
iPod touch. ($299-$399) The phone-less iPhone. Apparently, it’s even hotter than even Apple anticipated.
VMware Fusion. ($79.99) Leading the Windows virtualization software by more than a hair.
Aluminum iMacs. ($1199-$2299) Redesigned to resemble the iPhone’s appearance, and more powerful than ever.
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. ($29.99) Great… an expansion to the most addictive game ever. There goes my time with the family. Look! A gnome!
iWork ‘08. ($79) As Microsoft fumbled the next Office release from this year to the next, iWork just keeps getting better and better. In fact, you guys previously voted it to be more-used than Office!
As a bonus, here’s an eleventh product that’s MIA up to publication date, but would’ve earned a spot in this list: Delicious Library 2. Remember, it won an ADA in its unreleased state various months ago.
Know of anything else that should’ve gone here?
