The 2008 Engadget Awards
by Joshua Topolsky posted Mar 2nd 2009 at 5:40PM
This year we've got 23 categories up for grabs, with 46 total awards to be decided. All finalists for Engadget Awards are reader-nominated, and the editors of Engadget will then select the best of those nominations (usually somewhere between 4-6 devices or technologies) as finalists.
There are two awards per category, Reader's Choice (voted on by you!), and Editors' Choice (selected by us). The vote will take place later this month, and winners will be announced shortly thereafter.
You can find all the info and nominees on a landing page we've built this year which should make it easier to get all your selections in (and vote once we've picked the finalists). Just click right here.

The 2008 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Gadget of the Year
by Engadget staff posted Mar 2nd 2009 at 5:40PM
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 2008.
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!
