You can expect these in 2009

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

This is what all digital cameras want to grow up to be. The specs are enough to make even the least trigger-happy yearn for a camera: 10 MP, 20x wide-angle optical zoom, 4 fps continuous shooting, image stabiliser and 1080p high-definition video. Or, you can opt for a full manual control over aperture and shutter speed.

Expected price: Rs 26,000

BlackBerry Storm

Widely considered BlackBerry's answer to the iPhone, this touchscreen smartphone has recently debuted in the US. It has its share of software glitches, say users, but these might be ironed out by the time the phone reaches India. Heightened security concerns in the wake of the terror attacks in Mumbai might see a delay in the launch here. There is no word on the India price yet, but since it costs over $500 in the US, be prepared to shell out loads.

Expected price: Rs 25,000
