Foreign media review the top 10 most unforgettable products of 2010

December 4th, Beijing Time - Public relations and marketing communications firm Schneider Associates has announced the top ten most unforgettable products from 2009 to 2010. Among them are Apple's iPad, Microsoft's Windows 7, Motorola's Droid smartphone, and Samsung's 3D TV. High-tech products play an important role in this list.

First Place: Apple iPad Tablet

This year, the sales of the iPad have surpassed those of MacBook laptops. Analysts expect that sales of this device will reach 6.3 million units in the fourth quarter.

Second Place: Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System

Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, supports touchscreens, offers stronger sharing capabilities between different devices, and faster access to files and programs. During its development, Microsoft extensively listened to consumer feedback, and consumers have shown great affection for this product.

Third Place: Mars Company's Pretzel M&Ms

This candy giant met the demand of frugal consumers for cheap sweets. In fact, it is just a filled chocolate candy, showing that sometimes good ideas can be quite simple.

Fourth Place: Motorola Droid Phone

The slogan for the Motorola Droid phone emphasizes "multitasking," "5-megapixel camera," and "taking pictures in the dark," all of which are weak points of the iPhone. This advertising strategy proved effective against the powerful rival, the iPhone.

Fifth Place: McDonald's McCafé Real Fruit Smoothies

McDonald's followed Jamba Juice in launching fruit smoothies but at a much lower price, which was well received by consumers.

Sixth Place: Apple iPod Nano

The Nano 6 is smaller and features multi-touch functionality.

Seventh Place: Starbucks Via Instant Coffee

When Starbucks launched Via, it faced a lot of criticism. However, in just ten months, sales of this beverage exceeded $100 million.

Eighth Place: Samsung 3D TV

"Avatar" sparked a 3D craze, and Samsung quickly responded by releasing the world's first 3D LCD TV earlier this year.

Ninth Place: Haggar Diaper Jeans

The advertisement slogan for this limited-edition diaper jeans is: "The coolest way to wear pants you've ever seen."

Tenth Place: Kleenex Tissues

These tissues are made from 100% virgin fibers and are recyclable.
