Those of you which happen to hate Apple for no apparent reason, look away. Its iPhone 3G has just won this year’s best gadget award against tough competition from three games consoles, a budget laptop and an iPod speaker system. The readers of Stuff magazine.
The other nominees were the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, the Wii Fit, the Asus Eee PC, and the B&W Zeppelin iPod speakers. All products were compared on performance, design and value.
While the public chose the iPhone 3G as the gadget of the year, the magazine chose the Asus Eee PC as the staff’s gadget of the year.
Stuff magazine might not be the most relevant magazine for you, but its readers appreciate the iPhone. Will other prizes follow? Maybe more important awards?

We know 5 megapixellers are so passé now that the 8-megapixel war has started already, but since they aren’t out on the shelves yet, the European Imaging & Sound Association has awarded the S60-powered Samsung G810 its European Photo Phone Award for its outstanding 5-mpx lens and other photo-centric features. Well deserved, we should say, given features like face detection, image stabilization, panorama mode, macro shot, and multishot but the other features ignored by the EISA like its GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and HSDPA support are equally awesome in our eyes. Congrats Samsung. Hope the Innov8 can recreate the magic for you same time next year!
