The 2007 Engadget Awards
We hate to get all teary, but we're going to miss 2007. All things considered, it was kind of a monumental year for personal technology (and maybe even for us Engadget editors, too). But as it draws to a close it's about time for our favorite moment of the year, where we pay tribute to the all the new devices we love and loathe. Welcome to the fourth annual Engadget awards!This year we've got 22 categories up for grabs, with 44 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 in January (as soon as CES and Macworld finish up), and winners will be announced later that month.You've got until 11:59PM ET on Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 to get your entries in. Now, go nominate!
