The 2005 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Wireless Technology of the Year

It’s time for the 2005 Engadget Awards, and we’re asking for your nominations for the Wireless Technology of the Year.

Nominating is easy. Just leave a comment as you normally would with what you're nominating for this category (remember, comments must be validated!). You don’t have to include your reasons for nominating it or any of that stuff, just leaving the name is fine.

Limit your nominations only to devices that were introduced and sold for the first time in 2005 (which means no concept devices or prototypes, though we will allow updated versions of previous products).

Also, products only need to be nominated once to be in the running, so if you’re planning on suggesting something, please make a quick scan to see if someone’s already beat you to it (i.e., please don't nominate anything more than once!). Thanks!

Bluetooth?? Bluetooth has been around for well over a year. I'd say the pre-N stuff is the most exciting thing in the wireless world right now!
