The 2009 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Tablet PC of the Year

It's time for the 2009 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the Tablet PC 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 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!

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!

Reading the rules usually helps in most cases...

[Dking7 Posted Jan 13th 2010 5:30PM]

@flow how can you nominate something that does not exist yet, if you do that. I would say Microsoft's Courier!

[MrArmageddon Posted Jan 13th 2010 5:35PM]

@flow
Read much?
From the Simple Rules section at the top of the post:
- Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2009.

It says to nominate the tablet pc of 2009 which has already been released. not a product that was "announced" in 2010.
