Popular Science chooses PSP as Gadget of the Year

[mckmas8808]

Every year, the editors of Popular Science magazine review thousands of new products and technologies in pursuit of 100 breakthroughs that merit the magazine's highest honor, the Best of What's New award. Appearing in the much-anticipated December issue of Popular Science -- the most widely read issue of the year -- Best of What's New celebrates the 100 most impressive advancements in 12 categories: Automotive Tech, Aviation & Space, Cars, Computing, Engineering, Gadgets, General Innovation, Home Entertainment, Home Tech, Personal Health, Photography and Recreation.

Leading off each category is one Grand Award winner -- a product or
technology that represents a significant leap over existing technologies. "The
Best of What's New awards honor innovations that affect the way we live today
and change the way we think about the future," says Mark Jannot, editor of
Popular Science.
Lo and Behold, it seems the PSP won the Grand Award for Gadget of the year (as it should):

Gadgets: PlayStation Portable (Sony)
The introduction of Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) was the moment
portable game consoles stopped being toys. It's smaller than a paperback, with
a wide-screen display and the best-looking and most sophisticated games ever
made for a portable. But it's what you can do on the PSP besides play games
that really separates it from what came before. Listen to music or watch video
from its Memory Stick Duo slot, surf the Web with its integrated Wi-Fi and
browser, or pop in a Universal Media Disc of the latest movie.

Wow PSP won gadget of the year. Hellz yeah!!11! No seriously I'm glad that it beat out the ipod video.

PSP won and will win lots of these "prizes" which are vastly fixed by the companies that make the biggest donations to whatever organizations behind the awards themselves
