Drunken Max:Somewhere there is a/used to be a top three to go for in TVs etc. i.e. budget / good / top end
The Gadget Show's website on fwd.five.tv does a simple top 3 as you stated.
I feel the top 10s are often not updated enough - sometimes seems as if a new entry added without reviewing if the rest of the list is still relevant, i.e. the Smartphone Top 10 - why is the HTC HD2 not in it as it's been out for a while and they've managed to get the Nexus One in there already?
