The biggest event of the year, bar none
The 7th annual Pocket-lint Gadget Awards was held last night (8 December) in Piccadilly, London where the tech industry gathered to laugh, cry, laugh a bit more, then fall over.
They also got a pleasant surprise as parts of the ceremony were presented in 3D - a first for a Gadget awards in the UK - including a giant Stuart Miles, editor of Pocket-lint, looming over the captive audience (the doors were bolted) and handing the proceedings over to his more?diminutive?real self.
Plus, some of the nominated gizmos spun around in front of their very eyes. Oooo... It was like Avatar without the stupid nonsense about trees.
Apple walked off with two gongs, as did Amazon for its Kindle ereader and app, and Microsoft for the Xbox 360 S and Kinect, while Canon, Philips, HTC and Rovio got one apiece.
Then it was down to some serious mingling and imbibing of the grape and hop, which everybody achieved with considerable aplomb.
So, a massive thanks to all that could attend from the entire team at Pocket-lint, and an even bigger congratulations to the winners. See you this time next year.
