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 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 for the first time in 2009.
We will allow updated versions of previous devices, however. - No concept devices or prototypes.
It has to be a real gadget 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!
Someone's got to say it - the Apple Tablet
@CTMRIGuy Agreed! iSlate!
@CTMRIGuy : let me say it :
"Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2009."
Damn it!
@CTMRIGuy
Palm Pre Plus
@CTMRIGuy I agree - Apple tablet
@One Love With respect, read the heading: "Most Anticipated Gadget of 2010"
If it had been sold in 2009, we wouldn't be anticipating it.
@CTMRIGuy agreed
@CTMRIGuy: That's why i said, "Damn it!" Me = Reading Fail.
@One Love Missed that - cheers!
@Onelove
Its the rules that fail not your reading. They should take out "Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2009".

Nexus One.... people have been speculating about a Google phone for years and I remember even how heavy the hype got just before Android was announces with "gPhone" rumors. Although this doesn't exactly meet my personal criteria for what I would consider a Google Phone any more than say the G1 was a google phone, I feel like people have been waiting a long time for this story to come to a head and it was most definitely anticipated. P.S. I was going to support the Apple Tablet nomination but wasn't sure if it followed the rules that were set.
@dstafford72 ha speaking of rules, sorry for including my reasons ^_^
@dstafford72 So far for me its the Google Phones that will be and have been released this year, assuming they are releasing more
@dstafford72
