Default What's Gadget of the Year for 2009?

The iPhone pretty much swept the gadget of the year honors for 2008, winning everything in site, from editors, readers, critics, and users alike.

But with the iPhone 3G being pretty much the same device, Apple has left the door open for someone else to grab the title in 2009.

What is it? What made people go "wow" this year? What was the #1 "must have" on every geek shopping list?

Any ideas?

Good question... honestly is there any device that actually stands out above the rest? None that I can think of.

Maybe the G1? Tough to tell this year. There really was nothing that was above and beyond the rest...

It is really tough and if the G1 would win... I'd say that is very weak. I've played around with a few lately and at first I liked it but it got old real quick. There is potential there though.

Some people are saying Netbooks as a category?

Unibody Macbooks?

No new game consoles either... And despite Oprah, the Kindle ain't 2009...

No telling, I doubt the g1 would win. Storm, maybe htc touch. I dont thik the g1 is even in the equation though. The reason I mention the storm is the approach they took with the haptic screen button function.

All of these thoughts show just how weak of a year it was...
