Happy New Year!!!

Yup, 2008 is in the books- and 2009 is already starting to come upon us. So, what better way to finally finish off 2008 then with our picks for the top gadgets of the year! We got our picks from best cell phone to best laptop to best overall gadget- so read on!

Best Gadget:

iPhone 3G- Hands down the most amazing combination between phone, music player, internet device, and video game player– and its fun!

Best Cell Phone:

iPhone 3G- (see above comment)

Best Mp3 Player:

iPod Touch 2G- Not even a question, 2G touch. Even though its a more minor update, the Touch is still the best Mp3 around, and only got better with the App Store and built-in speaker.

Best Computer:

Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro- It’s stronger, faster, and lighter (not to mention much cooler ;) )- bringing some much needed updates to an already very good MacBook line.

Best Video Game:

Here we’ll break it down to individual picks, as we all had different picks.

Nik- RockBand 2

Eli- Call of Duty World at War

Chaim- Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Zev- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots

Now we’ll give you our choice for the worst gadget of the year.

Worst Gadget of the Year:

PlayStation 3- Even though the PS3 has been out since 2006, in 2008 the PS3 only led the Xbox 360 in sales MAYBE for 2 months tops (we don’t want to even talk about how far it was behind the Wii ;) ). It probably wouldn’t have even had that if the PS3 didn’t have Metal Gear. Heck, the PSP was even selling better than the PS3! In short, the PS3 didn’t do anything unique (not a lot of must have games or a price cut like the 360) to make it a console worth having, leaving us no choice but to name it the worst gadget of the year.

So there you have it, our best (and worst) gadgets from 2008. What’s your list look like? You agree or disagree with our list? Add your own voice in the comments!

Oh, and before we end this post- Happy New Year to all and see you in 2009!
