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?
