iPhone, iPad top 2010 "obsessions" list

This may come as no surprise to readers of TUAW, but Apple has scored two of the top three spots on Yahoo's "10 Obsessions of 2010" list. Coming in at #1 was the iPhone followed by the iPad at #3. Sandwiched between the two was Lindsay Lohan (get your minds out of the gutter).

Yahoo said their choice of candidates for the obsession list were partly based on a person's need for compulsive, constant web surveillance and vigilance in getting the scoop as soon as any new information was available. That definitely describes the fixation interest most people seemed to have for Apple's iOS devices this year.

Next year promises only more of the same with the coming of the second generation iPad and the fifth generation iPhone. And who knows? Maybe if Lindsay Lohan decides to stay home in 2011, Apple could sweep the top three if they unveil a real Apple TV.

Lindsay Lohan is a train wreck! Why anyone would be obsessed with her is beyond me.

I hope she gets her act together and straightens out!

Seriously.. Lohan beat out an ipad. Apple needs to rethink their culture if someone like her can best their new fruity gadget.

Goes to show how fragmented Apple's offerings are if they can't be consistent enough to hold the top 5 spots at all times. I guess Steve needs to do more than repurpose iOS in another form factor next time... or it'll be DOA.

According to the report, people have gone online and searched for the Apple iPhone 4 and iPad the most, coming in at number 1 and 3 respectively, with Lindsey Lohan taking the number 2 spot.

My 2010 obsession is that North Korea doesn't get all gangsta on our bitch azz. Other than that I might like a new scanner.

1 Lindsay only wearing an iPhone on the front and an iPad on the back, or 2 Lindsays wearing 1 iPhone in between them?

I don't know. If I could get my iPhone and Ipad with a LiLo stuffed in the middle I'd be okay with it.
