Applause, please! Not only has the iPhone 3G already won Favorite Cell Phone of 2008, geeksugar readers have bestowed yet another Best of 2008 win: Favorite New Gadget of 2008!

Are you going to make me say it? Alright, twist my arm: It's also my favorite new gadget of the year. Because of it, I don't get lost, I know what movies are playing at any time, I can find out songs that are playing . . . the list goes on, people.

With 33 percent of the vote, it bested other splashy entries like the Wii Fit and the MacBook Air. Did this surprise you at all? Considering it only debuted six months ago, it's shaping up to be the year of the iPhone 3G.

If you weren't standing in line for days to get your hands on the new iPhone 3G earlier this year, then you were probably patiently waiting for one of the other big headline-making releases including Blackberry's Storm and Bold, HTC's Touch Diamond, or possibly T-Mobile's G1.

Cell phones seemed to be the coveted tech item this year, as more and more useful and fun features get crammed into these little packages — which end up being your lifeline for everything from finding your way to a new restaurant to streaming Internet radio over your WiFi connection. Needless to say, I can't wait to see what new technology will come next in 2009!

I swear, watching videos of kids opening gaming consoles that they've been wishing and hoping for all year long is priceless — case in point, remember our OMG! I Got an iPhone! vid? And the one below of four adorable kids going nutso over their new Wii is no exception. Considering most of you had a wide range of tech toys on your Christmas wish list this year, I'm wondering if Santa delivered the goods? Let me know below in the comments!

Did you get everything you wanted under the tree this morning? If so, congrats! If not, don't forget you can blow off some steam (and burn up that gift card you "unwrapped" from your mom) online for some serious retail therapy . . . even today. So before the family dinner begins, take a look at some fun and geeky ways to spruce up your holiday with ambiance, great photos, and even connect with your family through video games — anything is possible!
