There’s no point for drums, suspense or than many applause. The iPhone is the device that won the 2008 Gadget of the Year, Best Mobile Technology, Most Stylish Technology and Technological Innovation of the Year at the British Technology Awards. Well, I guess that the Touch Diamond, the G1, the Touch HD, the Bold and the Storm can’t compete with the iPhone, can they? No matter if you’re and iPhone fan or not, I’m sure you would have liked other devices to get some of those awards right?

On the other hand, and I am counting on your negative feedback on this, the iPhone has set new standards for mobile technology. No matter how good are all the other touchscreen phones out there, they have been inspired from Apple’s idea. Let those of you without sin throw the first stone at me!

After more than a month of nominations and making decisions, iLounge has announced the 2008 Best of Show Winners — affordable products which excelled in the roster of devices made for iPod, iPhones, and iTunes.
