30 Most Anticipated Tech Products of 2011

From Windows 8 to the iPhone on Verizon to Mass Effect 3, here are 30 tech products we're looking forward to seeing in 2011.

Anticipated Tech 2011 - The new year is just around the corner, and major tech ompanies have promised us some innovative new products to arrive in coming months. Of course, we'll see the really new stuff at the Consumer Electronics Show in January (along with a lot of concepts and vaporware), but the 2011-ready products have been in the making for a long time. A Sony PSP phone, a white iPhone, Windows and Android tablets, and a 3D VAIO laptop are just a few of the things we're looking forward to.

So here are some of the most anticipated tech products of 2011.

PSP Phone

• Expected launch February 2011
• Expected pricing: Unknown
• Expected specs: Android 3.0, 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, 3.7-inch or 4.1-inch screen, MicroSD slot (rumor)

The PSP phone has been a hot rumor for some time, but purportedly leaked photos have improved the rumor's credibility. The images show what appears to be a modified PSP Go device running smartphone software. The PSP is a standout device that offers a fantastic gaming and multimedia experience in a small package. Could Sony finally have realized that it needs to support the PSP just as vigorously as Apple supports the iPhone? Let's hope so.

White iPhone 4

• Expected launch: Spring 2011
• Expected pricing: $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB)
• Expected specs: 16GB or 32GB storage, A4 processor, 960-by-640-pixel retina display, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing camera, iOS 4.2

The fate of the white iPhone 4 is far from certain as the device's launch date has already been pushed back four times. Some observers speculate that we may not see a white iPhone until the expected launch of iPhone 5.

Sony VAIO 3D laptop

• Expected launch: 2011
• Expected pricing: Unknown
• Expected specs: 16-inch LCD display, active-shutter glasses required, 1920-by-1080 2D resolution

Little is known about Sony's first entrant in the 3D laptop category, but considering the popularity of VAIO devices, a 3D Sony laptop is intriguing. There's no word on whether this device will integrate with other Sony 3D products, what it will cost, how much storage it will have, or even what kind of processor it will carry. Expect to hear more about this device in January during CES.

iPhone 4 on Verizon

• Expected launch: January 2011 (rumor)
• Expected pricing: $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB)
• Expected specs: 16GB or 32GB storage, A4 processor, 960-by-640-pixel retina display, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing camera, iOS 4.2, LTE support?

It's been a long time coming, but the iPhone may finally break free of its U.S. exclusivity contract with AT&T and move to its second U.S. home (Verizon) in 2011. Beware, though: These rumors have been around for a long, long time, so don't count on it just yet.
