tech: Top 10 Women's day gadgets

Here we go :

• The iPad 2 with its new-found svelte looks, 1.3 pound weight and stylish smart covers makes it a must have for women. Add to that thousands of women focussed apps like Beatburn trainer, Epicurious and Vogue magazine; it becomes an absolute winner.

• The MacBook Air is the ultimate portable laptop. The elegant 11-inch version has the potential to become a girl's best friend with its slim form factor and super sexy appeal. It will slip into the smallest of bags while not compromising on much of the performance.

• If you do not like Apple in your diet, you have great options in Windows too. The Y-series netbook is available in a bouquet of delicious colours like a cool lime, light grey and girly pink. Its no slouch on performance too – it packs in an AMD dual-core processor, 11.1-inch LED screen, Windows 7, 2 GB RAM and a 320 GB HDD. 

• Women are using the Blackberry as much as the men. It only makes sense for the company to bump-up the style quotient on these mobile work-horses. The Blackberry Pearl 3G and Curve 8250 are available in a bunch of colours to suit any woman's style. Now, Blackberry just needs to change its chauvinistic TV advertisement, where it has women singing “We are the Blackberry Boys”.

• Nikon's Coolpix series for long has been the favourite point and shoot camera among women and the style series is the perennial choice for young women. Now, women can colour coordinate their camera with their style. This is also available in many colours.

• USB memory sticks are like hygiene if you interact with computers in any way, you almost cannot live without one. Swarovski has gone ahead and made this essential gadget extremely stylish. These 4GB Crystal USB sticks look pretty and get the job done, what more can you ask for.

• If there ever was a MP3 player made for women, it is the Apple iPad Nano. It fits everywhere, holds many songs and comes in all the colours that suit your wardrobe.

• If you are a fitness freak and hate the wire tangles, you may want to look at the Sony X-Series Walkman MP3 players. This extremely slick MP3 player rides behind your neck while you jog and does not need any extra wires as the MP3 player is built into the earphones themselves. Is that practical or what?

• For girls who think Apple's iPad covers are not smart enough, the Marc Jacobs silicon iPad sleeve is pretty drool worthy. It is pretty affordable too.

• It is difficult to great sounding headphones that look good. Skullcandy breaks the barrier here with the Aviator series. The brown and gold headphones are a perfect fit and sound fantastic.

• In the end, we shall leave you with a gadget that women might want to have by the next women's day. These are the latest Nokia – Windows Phone 7 devices showcased at the Mobile World Congress. These should be available by the end of this year.
