In this Wall Street Journal News Hub video, Walt reiterates his assertion that Steve Jobs' departure is "...the end of an era," but he's quick to add, "I don't mean by that that this is the end of Apple's success." You can read more of Walt's thoughts about Steve's resignation in his post on AllThingsD.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Mossberg believes Jobs will be considered a historical figure due to his business success and his role as an iconic inventor. He also teases the future, saying that products "Apple doesn't currently make" are being worked on now.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> It's not clear from the video if that's just conjecture on Mossberg's part, or if he has knowledge about what those future products may be. The entire video is interesting, as it features a prolific tech journalist speaking about one of the most prolific inventors of our time. Check it out below.</div> </div> </div>

He added that "with the new iOS 4.2 operating system and its huge selection of apps, the iPad continues to stay ahead of the competition."<br /> <br /> No arguments from here. Apple has redefined the tablet form factor, after years of talk about it from Microsoft, who has yet to really produce anything that has caught on with the public.<br /> <br /> Mossberg gave his number two ranking to 4G networks, saying they are something "to watch closely in 2011." His third place was a tie between two phones, the <a href="http://galaxys.samsungmobile.com/">Samsung Galaxy S</a> and the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/">iPhone 4. </a><br /> <br /> Mossberg also had some thoughts on the worst products of 2010. He cites the <a href="http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-streak/pd">Dell Streak</a> tablet as a failure that is "too big to be a phone, yet too small to be a tablet."<br /> <br /> He also dissed <a href="http://www.google.com/tv/">Google TV</a> as not being ready for prime time, suffering from a confusing user interface and a clumsy keyboard.<br /> <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/26/mossberg-says-the-ipad-is-the-top-2010-product/"></a> <br /> <h6></h6><a href="http://mossblog.allthingsd.com/20101224/best-and-worst-products-of-2010">Source</a>
