Top mobile devices of 2005
We trawled through the last year's archives and handpicked the 10 mobile devices that impressed us the most over the last 12 months.
In mobile computing, we saw fast and flashy Ferarris, found that tablets had become easier to swallow, and PDAs became spacially aware with inbuilt GPS receivers.
Mobile telephony was characterised by heightened convergence, the return of the "brick" (albeit a 3G-enabled brick), and a blurring of the distinction between phone and PDA. Slider and clamshell designs continued to make inroads in the Australian market, which seems to have finally accepted that a candybar-shaped mobile isn't the only way to go.
We take a look back at the mobile devices that defined 2005 and offer our picks. The 10 products were chosen based on innovative design, superior performance, or because they offer a killer feature or two that sets them apart from the pack.
