The 2007 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Storage Device or Technology of the Year

It's time for the 2007 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the Storage Device or Technology of the Year.

Nominating is easy, simply leave a comment with what you're nominating for this category. We'll round up the best selections and put them to the popular vote.

Here's five simple rules of what NOT to do:

• Don't include your reasons for nominating it.
  You can debate the product or technology later when we put it up to vote. Just leave the name of what you want to nominate, ok?
  
• Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold (or, if a technology, invented) for the first time in 2007.
  We will allow updated versions of previous devices and technologies, however.
  
• No concept technologies, devices or prototypes.
  It has to be a real gadget/technology that people can buy! Pre-orders don't count.
  
• Don't nominate anything more than once.
  It's not a popularity contest (yet), all it does is make our lives harder. Just do a quick find to see if someone's already beat you to it.
  
• Seriously, don't nominate anything that's already been nominated!

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!
