Of course, all that tech made choosing last year's Engadget Awards a truly daunting task, one best left to our trusty readers -- and as usual, you've come through with some solid selections. Follow the break for the mobile winners, or hit the read link to head over to Engadget's full list!

Did we mention it also won both Readers' and Editor's Choice Engadget Awards for best console, as well as Editor's choice for 2005 Gadget of the Year, too? Good, glad we cleared that up.
