Thanks again to everyone for nominating and voting in the Engadget Awards! We'll see you in a while for 2008!

*As you may recall, while not really gadgets released in 2007, both Vista and the Foleo were included by popular demand as nominees for worst gadget of the year.

Companies wishing to place the award on their site or packaging should feel free to, but are asked to please contact us before doing so.

I just don't understand the reason why Windows Vista is now a gadget. Does Engadget know the literal meaning of a "gadget"? A "GADGET" is a mechanical device. Windows Vista is a software... gadget is not a software... and software is not a gadget...Geeezzeee...Engadget should have corrected that and whoever nominated "Windows Vista" as Worst Gadget of the Year and those who voted for it are just too dumb to understand the difference between a gadget and a software... for crying out loud! ... seek help from Mr. Webster and Ms. Merriam!!!

[Renegade Fanboy Posted Apr 21st 2008 1:27AM]

There is no problem with the amount of Apple fanboy votes. It's a bit disturbing (e.g. Apple keyboard is ... my worst purchase ever), but if Apple manages to drive up fanbase that much, then good for them. I'm quite happy with the Macbook - I'm just not into religion. ;-)
It's Reader's Choice after all.

If there is something to complain about - that is Engadget.

I really don't think that Smartphone of the Year should sport a closed system, which rules in simplicity (and UI) through closedness. No possibility to install applications (and even with iPhone SDK _in 2008_ you will only run one 3rd party application - until a phonecall comes, that is), no business functions etc.

Also, including Vista from 2006 for just the fun of it...

Of course, it's Engadget Awards, so to define the list is totally up to E. Yet, it also means that my interest in not-only-popularity-based news or opinion will be fulfiled somewhere else.

(Dramatic music, while people pass by not caring ;-)))

One less RSS reader for Engadget.

i agree completely, i just bought an ipod, and it is a good device, but apple is not the technological savior some people make it out to be

at least this website isn't completely biased towards apple

glad to see the 8800GT won an award... just picked one up for a bargain price of £102 and that makes it so much sweeter :D

Apple made it 5 times here.
SEARCH "APPLE"
Maybe you'll see why!
