I was surfing the website for best designed products for the current year and i came across, the Time List of such products so i thought to share it with the readers. The idea for this search came from my friend Mansoor Ehsan, who on weekend showed me few amazing sites worth sharing. Here are few of the interesting products.
Panasonic Life Screen

The only thing larger than this new 6-ft.-tall (1.8 m), 11-ft.-wide (3.4 m) plasma-screen TV will be the waiting list—for those with deep-enough pockets—to purchase the product in 2009.
Sigma DP1

Weighing in at just under 9 oz. (255g), Sigma’s new digital camera ($1,000) gives photo buffs and pros alike the performance of a 35-mm SLR camera in the sleek, portable body of a compact.
Japan Railways N700
A high-speed train that actually leans into curves may not be everyone’s idea of the perfect travel experience. But that’s just what Japan’s new N700 bullet train between Tokyo and the western Japanese cities of Osaka and Fukuoka does.

Though the incline system helps shave only 5 min. from the 2½-hr. trip between Tokyo and Osaka, the big bonus is that the train is 19% more energy-efficient than its predecessor, thanks in part to a hood that completely encloses the spaces between cars, reducing air resistance and noise. So far, passengers are wild for the slope-nosed N700—some 1,300 people turned out for the 6 a.m. maiden voyage last July. Good news, then, that there are 43 trips a day via N700 on the Tokyo-Osaka-Fukuoka route. —Kate Novack
Smart Fortwo

The minuscule smart fortwo car has been a familiar sight on the streets of European cities for the past decade, and now the tiny auto has hit the U.S. market. It’s easy to park—about two smart fortwos fit into one standard-size space—gets 41 m.p.g. (17.4 km/L) on the highway and starts at under $12,000. Of course, the prospect of going head to head with a huge Hummer while in a vehicle the size of a golf cart is daunting to some would-be buyers. But Smart USA stresses that the car, made by Mercedes-Benz, is equipped with a steel safety cell, similar to a NASCAR roll cage, and has front and side air bags.
Vélib’

 Among the perks offered to employees at Louis Vuitton in Paris is an annual subscription to Vélib’, the French capital’s popular self-service bike-sharing program. Since it debuted last July, there have been 15 million rentals. So far there are 15,000 bikes at stations located about 1,000 ft. (300 m) apart throughout the city. But JCDecaux, the company that runs the service, expects to increase the number of bicycles to 20,000 in time for spring. Subscriptions are $44 per year, or bikes can be rented by the hour. The best deal of all, though, is the quick trip: rides under 30 minutes are free.
