Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite New Video Game
What isn't there to love about your favorite game of 2008, Wii Fit? It's been proven to amp up your fitness level, and even help you become more flexible and shed pounds in the process. And although I can't deny the benefits of Wii Fit, I'm going to have to stray away from the pack here and give my 2008 Sugar Award to Fable II.

2008's Cell Phone Fashionistas of the Big Screen
2008 was a great year for movies, especially for me since tech is becoming more and more prominently featured. A number of the leading ladies in my favorite flicks from this year embraced their cell phone as the chic accessory that it is — or can be, when you pick the one that matches you. Check out my top cell phone addicted female characters of the year.
Biggest Headlines of 2008: Cell Phone Mania
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!
Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite BlackBerry Obsessed Celeb
Well you definitely "Baracked The Vote" on this one! With ten other contestants to contend with, President-elect Barack Obama managed to pull through with 39 percent of the vote — making him 2008's Favorite BlackBerry-Obsessed Celeb!
No surprises there.
Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite Luxury Gadget Accessory
Where would we be without a little fantasy? They're the anti-necessity, but I love to look at luxurious accessories, whether I could ever afford them or not.
I had a lot of faves this year, but my absolute fave coincides with your pick for favorite luxury gadget accessory of 2008!
Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite Geeky Jewelry
It was a close race for Favorite Geeky Jewelry Piece of 2008, but we have a winner: the Periodic Table Rings!
Looks like geeky rings were big in general — these just barely edged out the Binary Rings with 33 percent of the vote. The Periodic Rings may not be engagement-worthy, but any chemistry geek would be very happy with this bling.
Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite Cell Phone
It came as no surprise that the iPhone 3G takes the top spot as your favorite cell phone of 2008 (with 51 percent of the vote!), given that it was also your favorite new Apple product this year as well. And let's be honest — it's a known fact that I am a iPhone fan, so I'd have to agree with you that the iPhone 3G is the clear favorite in 2008.
You can't really go wrong with the iPhone's speedy 3G connectivity, and endless amounts of Apps that help make your life easier, more fun, and get you to where you need to go faster.
The Year in Facebook
As Facebook slowly but surely took over the space that MySpace once carved out, manners and new social networking mores emerged because of it, and for it, in 2008 — along with the occasional wacky news story. Check out my slideshow for the wild year in Facebook.

Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite New Google Feature
Gmail had a banner year in 2008 — but really, when have they not? I would have thought that in their big year — whose crowning glory was the release of T-mobile's Android-outfitted G1 — you guys would have found a favorite in the first Google cell phone.
However, like Google itself, you kept it simple, and voted the new Gmail Themes as your favorite new Google feature!
