“Top 10 Gadgets”, that’s how the column is named and Time magazine weighs in on the best of this year. The list includes two phones and one tablet; the number one spot is taken by a phone, and not just any phone: according to the magazine, the top gadget of 2012 is the Apple iPhone 5.

The second phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, is taking the eight spot, just one position below the Microsoft Surface with Windows RT. Despite all the drama surrounding the iPhone 5 (shortages, build quality problems with initial models, mapping drama, etc.), Apple’s latest phone is the best iPhone to date. Is it the best gadget of the year? That’s another question, but if you’re in the market to grab one, make sure to check our initial review as well as our After the Buzz
