For those immune to the charms of the latest gadgets, they are expensive, infuriating and fragile devices that are destined to be lost or stolen or end up languishing in the back of a drawer.
But for gadget-lovers there is nothing better than getting their hands on a covetable new toy that promises to make life easier or more fun.
Readers of Stuff magazine, who are more likely to fall into the second category, are voting for their favourite gadget of the last 12 months.
Here’s the shortlist: Apple’s iPhone, Sony’s PlayStation 3, Nintendo’s Wii Fit, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Asus Eee PC and the B&W Zeppelin.
Nominees in the other categories include the BlackBerry Bold, Nokia N96, Creative Zen X-Fi and TomTom GO 730.
Do you constantly upgrade your mobile/iPod/television in a quest for the latest features? Or are you quite happy still using your basic phone and full-size TV?
What was your favourite gadget of the last year and why do you love it so much?

iPhone without doubt. Why? Because everyone is imitating it and there are 7,000 applications written by other people to use on it within 3 months of being able to do so.
- Posted by georgeAdvent 4211 Netbook (Laptop) - A fully functioning laptop but small (10″ screen) - it can actually be used as a normal laptop.(in fact I now hardly use my desk top) The speed is excellent and hard drive is 80Gb, whereas the competition asus, ee pc are very limited with tiny hard drives.
It fits easily into a bag/ glove compartment etc. and with mobile broadband your always connected. Where ever I travel I have photo’s, films and internet.
Excellent stuff

We experience those in the new windows to suit ourselves according to our capabilities.Every unveild product has its own unique and distictive features to induce the buyers perticularly who are over-senitive and fickle minded and do carry also the boosts for having the same to be reckoned as distinguished among the others. It is a crazy indulgence.All the gadets are undoudtedly appreciable,but I am ever with my old gadets, which are sufficient to fulfill my perposes and needs.
