Gadget of the decade - voting now closed

Dominic Watkins14 September 2009

Why do you need to have specific products here, what's wrong with general products and concepts such as "the opensource movement", "the mobile phone" etc.?

Matt 14 September 2009

Voted!!! =]

Tom14 September 2009

No PS3?!?! Epic fail!

Bob Lewis14 September 2009

What? No G1 phone (puts iPhone where it belongs - in the bin). No mention of DECENT Bluetooth Headset (e.g. Motorola), lousy choice of hardware tech for computer group - where are the fantastic improvements in graphics cards represented? Windows XP? - Give me a break - Ubuntu Live CD! - the ONLY QUICK, EASY, SENSIBLE way to be able to practically INSTANTLY use &/or recover data from a Win XP system that won't boot. No mention of -N Networking - Qué? Why not? External USB storage - where's that? How soon the 3TB desktop disk?. Never mind the iPod what about the Zen? Where's the Archos? Now there's a TRULY great piece of kit - real multi-media & web on the go! I realise that it must have been a hard job to pick the list of gadgets, but this list shows a distinct lack of wider vision of the really great gadgets as opposed to those of the "badge" obsessed iPod/iPhone brigade. :-(

oh yeah, made my votes!!!!!!!!

What about PS3 for best Entertainment Gadget!!! That has my vote

Rick4914 September 2009

Having had a few hours struggling with a roll of masking tape (for the purposes of painting), I would like to put it forward as the most advanced product we use today. Firstly, if you try to use it on old painted surfaces, it refuses to stick unless you use enough pressure to damage whatever is underneath it. Up to 24 hours it MAY stay put, but at 24 hours and one minute, when you try to remove it, it pulls most of the underlying paint off with it. If you want to tear it down its length, perhaps to make two straight edges to economise on tape, it tears 90 degrees across the roll and you all know that, in contrast, if you are in a hurry or holding the object to be painted with one hand and the roll in your teeth or vice versa and need it to tear cleanly, it tears down the centre of the roll and you lose at least three turns off the roll because it has half a width stuck to it! Now we come to the clincher, try to stick masking tape to any shiny metal surface -it will not stick, but cut it with a pair of scissors and it attaches itself firmly to both blades, and the residue has to be removed with solvent - absolute magic! And as for trying to pull a long length off a roll for a pristine straight edge - forget it. That tape just doubles back and adheres to itself and every loose object nearby and gets tangled up. That stuff definitely has a brain of its own and is clearly more advanced than any electronic gadget in use.

Pete14 September 2009

HTC Hero surely?

Ron 14 September 2009

Lots of super gadgets ... but only one winner.

Ron 14 September 2009

Lots of super gadgets ... but only one winner.

D D14 September 2009

Well, that's a pointless survey. Right away one of the most popular entertainment gadget of the last 11 years isn't on the list.... The TIVO. It invented the DVR market and is still worldwide number 1. There are 40,000 UK users who like me use their TiVo every single day. It's the gadget that's had most impact on my life. Only the most lame of users think the Sky Plus is a good DVR, and it's only because they've never tried a TiVo which has a better interface despite it being launched back in 1999.

Offertonhatter14 September 2009

Tough choices to make, how do I differentiate between You tube wikipedia and google earth? Also, Photoshop, flickr and Nikon D70? Ultimately I have voted, but won't tell what as I don't want to infuence the votes. LOL.

Alan15 September 2009

I couldn't agree more D D. My TiVo is easily the best gadget I've ever owned. I was disappointed (but not that surprised) to see it's not made the list, but Sky+ has. TiVo is so much better - if only more people knew about it! Now, if only they'd bring out a new HD version in the UK, I'd be first in line.

Karen15 September 2009

I agree with several other comments here that the list is too Apple orientated. I think Android OS should have been on the phone list. MUCH more advanced than the i-phone and as open source it will also grow faster than the i-phone can ever hope to. My G1 is running on the software designed for the Hero. How many other phones can be up to the minute a year after launch? I

bryan15 September 2009

hi to all gadget show team, surely the greatest invention of the last 100 years!!, yet alone the last 10 years, .....is the internet. it has to be the most widespread application on the planet.

bob shingles 15 September 2009

good to see there is no PS3 360 ftw

mbuckhurst15 September 2009

Tivo introduced 2000 into the UK, clearly the winner for me, and especially as one of the few gadgets that gets 100% from the other half - many imitators but few come close. Also, missing from this list is the Canon 300D or perhaps 350D, the first because it was the first consumer DSLR and the second because it was the first affordable DSLR and where's the mention of the first mobile phones, a collection of modern phones does not constitute the gadget of the decade. This appears to be the usual gadget show pandering to specific manufacturers (Apple?) and not a true reflection of all that's was/is available. The gadget of the year should be one of those that creates a new concept (Tivo) or takes and existing one and improves it completely.

Brucie15 September 2009

I agree with Dominic, a general products would have been great instead of specifics. Surprised to see the OLED tv in there as they haven't taken off yet and don't look to be joining our homes any time soon, dammit!. I would have voted the mobile phone tbh, they have come such a long way in such short time...well, since the 0'ties. Remember the days when they were there to serve a specific purpose, i.e. to take calls. Now mobies are making MP3/4 players, personal organisers, alarm clocks, dicta phones obsolete. You can also now browse the web, use them for GPS's, scan barcodes to check prices, play games, read books and much more. Emerging technology such as augmented reality are going to make mobile phones even greater tools for leisure and business. The humble mobile phone seems to be something greater than it was ever intended to be, looks like it will be with us for decades to come.

angusf2715 September 2009

My wife and logged on to vote for the TomTom GPS which is shown on the montage in the program segment about gadget of the decade candidates and unbelievably, isn't on the list whilst some pretty obscure objects eg a NEC phone which no one remembers!!! I have started a petition to include TomTom GPS http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/tomtom/ Come GS TomTom is BRILLIANT and saved our marriage :) Kind Regards Angus

TheWakeUpCall15 September 2009

I'm no Apple fanboy, but I don't see how you can have Windows XP on the list but not Mac OS X. There has never been an operating system that is so well thought out from every perspective. Oh well. This gadget of the decade thing is a brilliant idea however, well done on that :)

pakboy15 September 2009

XBox 360 must win and have to win!! what can you not expect from the 360. PS3 was not incloded because ps2 is better. 360 rules!!!!

angusf2715 September 2009

My wife and l agreed last night that there is no question, it is the TomTom One which was shown in the montage of options in the TV show but not on the list which is full of some pretty obscure items eg a rubbish NEC phone which happened to be the first by 10 minutes to incorporate 3G.. COME ON GADGET SHOW we want to vote for TomTom .

ceekays15 September 2009

This was really difficult choosing the best gadget...im sure there is more and better gadgets still not listed... casted my votes though :)

Peter Watts15 September 2009

My vote would be the POPCORN Network Media Tank which plays most music and video formats (including HD)...beats the crappy Mac box which is crippled

steve evans15 September 2009

Great idea but voting interface is laborious and slow

sergeigto15 September 2009

where is tomtom? or at least in general sat nav's????????????????

OV3RDO5Euk15 September 2009

You are all wrong ;) . best gadget = USB Flash drive. If it wasn't for solid state memory none of these (bar a few) would really be possible.

OV3RDO5Euk15 September 2009

You are all wrong ;) . best gadget = USB Flash drive. If it wasn't for solid state memory none of these (bar a few) would really be possible.

itzturner9615 September 2009

xbox 360 gunna win ultimate gadget it so awesome better than ps3!!!!! more games avatars achievements marketplace and best of all the online play especially me im awesome woop gtaiv rules!!!!!!!

Mike Sully15 September 2009

I think you're all missing the point. Apple over the decade has revolutionised mp3 players, mobile phones, laptops, desktops etc etc. There are good reasons why the Ipod and the Iphone are one there. Second of all, TiVo is used by about 40,000 UK persons. Windows XP, Youtube, Ipods, Bluetooth headsets are used by millions nationally. Get a grip. Just because they changed your life doesn't mean they revolutionised technology.

reece15 September 2009

the gadet show is flipen COOL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

robbiep15 September 2009

WHY NO PS3 easily THE gadget of the decade

happychap90915 September 2009

only 1 i voted without hesitation WOW OFCOURSE!!! and yes, it did give birth to one of the greatest south park episodes x]

Evar15 September 2009

No PS3! Yet the Wii is on there which is so technologically backwards for its generation plus its just rubbish. PS2 got my vote.

polmck15 September 2009

no ps3 that's poor

Stacey15 September 2009

PS3, PS2, Singstar, facebook and the like... all tres entertaining and certainly nice catalysts for social interaction but there are so many similar products like this and none at all revolutionary! The USB drive gets my vote; a simple invention yes but a markedly innovative device without much in the way of comparison which has had such a positive impact in terms of the transferal of data, ease of use, convienience etc. Long gone are the days of nasty CDs and DVDs for data storage yippee!!

Stacey15 September 2009

relatively inexpensive too so accessible for all!

Colin15 September 2009

saw a few funny comments, the mobile was not invented this decade so we couldnt vote for that as gadget of the decade. I kinda forgot without the flash drive we wouldn't have most of the stuff that was there. Very good point guys, very good point.

john15 September 2009

as a follower of the gadget show, i am very surprised that you have not even touched on the newer gadgets in the yachting world, such as touch screen gps chart plotters, accident avoidance equipment such as ais system and echomax radar enhancers, not to mention that with the newer high end units which are all singing and dancing now you can run an entire yacht from a touch screen, which incorporates all instrumentation from depth/speed to engine revs and radar also autopilots, so come on gadget show how about seeing more water based tech, after all the southampton boat show is on untill sunday night. good show though.

dazzypops16 September 2009

What about Sony's Aibo? Clearly the dream of any gadgefan.

Mandy Wenman16 September 2009

Why Sky + and not Virgin+? From experience I think Virgin + is far better than Sky+ and I think I'm right in saying that Virgin+ beat Sky+ in a test on the Gadget Show? Surely it would be better to just categorise PVR technology rather than specific providers. This surely gives Sky an unwarranted boost?

bob dase16 September 2009

Xbox 360 ROCKS

kdre8716 September 2009

Love the show, keep up the good work. But no PS3?

Gareth16 September 2009

Wii is brilliant! Ps3 sucks kdre87

konajoe16 September 2009

It won't give me the option to vote for any of them???

Reece16 September 2009

i agree wheres the PS3 or PSP you cant truly vote for your favourite gadget with such a small list that seems very apple and microsoft orientated

Danno2216 September 2009

Dom thats a great idea they should do that some time.

steve nesfield17 September 2009

just like to say thanks guys for the best show on tv always on the money... and please let me win the compition this week my son needs some gadg !!!!!

Jack17 September 2009

If OLED TV can appear even though it hasn't been successfully marketed yet then something like Solar Roadways should be listed as it could revolutionise power production the world over. Likewise Korea's OLEV electric transport solution. For photography, the Dark Flash system is a revolution (I'm surprised the GS hasn't covered it yet). And where's Opera Unite. All in all, quite a limited choice of gadgets to choose from imho.

jim17 September 2009

y no ps3 its the best gadget in the world but i put ps2 xbox 360 sucks

greg17 September 2009

My PS3 + Play TV is the one gadget that I would say I consistently use and has manage to change how my family watches TV, plays games and listens to music. Many other gadgets mentioned are short-lived.

Chris Whittaker17 September 2009

Missing two gadgets which really did change our lives - the Wireless Access Point / Wireless Network Card. Both had slightly more significance than some camera I've never heard of.

Robin Grimmer18 September 2009

No 3 Skypephone for mobile phones. The application of Skype to make unlimited free calls and texts was groundbreaking. And the S2 is a really nice handset.

Matthew Hartley18 September 2009

I agree, no PS3, FAIL.

Matthew18 September 2009

wheres the ps3

Brad18 September 2009

half the gadgets on here are rubbish (c'mon whose going to vote for a gorrilla pod to be the gadget of the decade) and whats with having things like sky+ but not virgin+ when virgin is much better and fancy putting the xbox on here (all it does is give you a red ring and tell you to send it to germany for ages and makes you pay to use something your already paying for, the internet) the PS3 is much better!

andrew bateson18 September 2009

I'm very sorry guys but the selection you have chosen us to vote for is very one sided and not very !decade! there are soooo many things that you could have put on for vote but obviously you guys decide what we vote for. Under the computer gadget you've put web sites like facebook WHY? Its not a computer gadget its a social networking WEBSITE! Why haven't you put real revolutionary stuff like !BROADBAND! which as far as I'm concerned has changed the face of how we browse the internet forever, for one its made things faster to connect to the internet unless you like to brows the internet on dial-up and trust me I had it and I much prefer broadband, and two there is no way you could ever reach the speeds on dial-up that a broadband connection can manage and what about WI FI these are things that have changed computing forever!? Come on guys you know your at fault for making us decide on a very narrow minded list.

Adam18 September 2009

Hello I watch the gadget show every week and love all the gadgets they have Adam

Richard18 September 2009

I agree with Dominic Watkins surely these should not be so specific. If they were generalised then my vote would be for the life changing mobile phone which has changed every area of our life from work, home and social life.

Jack19 September 2009

Ermm has anyone thought about the PS2 it was the best one EVER much better than the PS3. The PS2 is one of the best selling game consoles ever in history!!! But anyways the gadget rules and All the presenters are the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!! PS2 RULES

Tim19 September 2009

Sat-Navs?

piddy19 September 2009

y isn't ps3 up there its class, best games consle easy, in the top 3 gadgets of decade easy, the games are great much better than xbox, all i have to say is MAG (256 players) and that shows how much better it is. ha

caitlin19 September 2009

where is the nintendo dsi, the i phone 3g or nokia 5800

hejfgv19 September 2009

voted who will win?

Mikro19 September 2009

Too Apple orientated? Considering they changed the market with the ipod and iphone its hardly surprising. g1 phone? Give me a break. Wouldn't have been thought of before the iphone. Was just thinking was too Microsoft orientated - Xp and Movie Maker are just laughable. Dunno what ham-fisted fool thought of this list. Must have had a 40 second deadline or something.

dan19 September 2009

one word internet

Reece0919 September 2009

IPHONE ALL THE WAY !!!!! The first easy to use touch screen phone. So many great things have come frome this phone it so deserves its place as the best gadget and phone of the decade..Also 1st ipod because it changed the way we listen to music XBOX 360 because it rocks.

ooh.want.one.19 September 2009

There should of been a WIDER list too chose from. You've asked people to vote with out the choice to do so. Windows xp without the choice of say Linux Mint,Mac OS X or even Android OS.(Is a OS a gadget?) Mp3 players where are the small pocket ones. Sky + without Tivo The best gadget not the most popular.Black lace were a popular band at the time but the the best band?

Matthew Mitchell19 September 2009

Why was Windows XP and Windows Movie Maker on there when OS X and iMovie are miles better? I've only ever received headaches from Microsofts products and XP is absolutely horrible. I'm glad I was able to vote for the Macbook in the computing section. I think the Macbook White is the best looking laptop and OS X is superior to Windows. Windows XP, definitely. From what I've tried of Vista, that is pretty crap as well. I haven't tried Windows 7 so I can't comment on it. The PS3 deserves a place I think but it's a shame Sony have ruined the PS3 by removing features in favour of reducing price. My original PAL 60GB PS3 is far superior to the new models. I have chrome, 4 USB slots, card readers and I am able to play many PS2 games. The new slim version looks like a cheap rip-off.

Matthew20 September 2009

Where's Ubuntu?

AAL20 September 2009

I agree that general concepts should be listed rather than specific products.

gadgets7520 September 2009

I just Ordered the PS3 SLIM + Need for speed SHIFT, what I am trying to say here, is that... WHY IS THERE NOT A PS3 SLIM??????????!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Checkov21 September 2009

Who the hell chose the products / items in the decade vote? Surely in the photography section the mobile phone with a camera is a little more significant / relevant that a specific product that the average Joe has never brought?

craggle21 September 2009

I'm dumbfounded by some of these selections. The title says best, not important or inpactful because if we go by best, we're obviously going to go by the newer products because they're better than what was released 9 years ago. An example of course is the first gen ipod. Is it important? Hellz yes. I won't go on about what it has done for music, everyone already knows that but is it the best? No. The newer models are vastly superior. Best =/= important

Richard21 September 2009

Totally agree with the OP; examples of specific products just doesn't work. Slightly OT, but how comes a TV programme about technology has such a poorly designed website? It's so hard to navigate to where I want to be that I use it far less than I'd like to. Finally: get a grip chaps; the show has nose-dived this season, the programme seems less relevant, less interesting and has somehow lost all of its pop. Not sure if it's time for new presenters (still love Jon though), producers or perhaps the GS has come to the natural end of its days. Thanks for the good days though!

josef21 September 2009

vote ps3 cause its like the best. xxx

harms21 September 2009

ps3 the best

Mike21 September 2009

Where's XBMC? the best entertainment software / os for years.!! The developement on this is outstanding, its amazing what you can do even with an old xbox one.

Grant096121 September 2009

'Vote for the gadget that made the most impact on the decade...' Well I thought it was the iPod 1st gen, without it you wouldn't have had the iPhone, the most revolutionary mobile phone handset of all time! Not to mention iTunes and all these mp3 players that were born with it, the docks and everything... It truly revolutionised the way we listen to music and had the biggest impact, it was like the birth of the digital age :) ! The ones that swung me though was definately the 3 website/apps up for selection... YouTube, full of hatred comments and stupid, annoying, poorly made videos, there is still some good in it though... and Wikipedia, free information for the whole world to see! I mean it's something... and finally Google Earth.. I mean come on... it has to be! The birth of Google Maps, and then when it was brought to the iPhone I found it the most useful but probably the least impacting, just a convenience! I hope I helped you make a decision or swing your vote for another gadget =p... Grant.

MunkeyPunx21 September 2009

Sorry but this has to be to most poor excuse for a "Best of the Decade" I have ever seen. This is very disappointing and to be honest, a pathetic effort clearly put together with as little effort as possible. I'm sorry, but even though I'm a dedicated Apple user, there is no legitimate reason that the MacBook can be considered a revolutionary product. The PowerBook series was revolutionary, the MacBook.. well, just no... Although Windows XP is understandable but to put that in, you'd have to throw in Mac OS X and some amazing versions of Linux. This is the product of a sadly underpaid researchers lunch break brainstorm session. Hopefully there are other tech sites out there that will actually do this properly in the next year. Sorry Gadget Show but again you let us down...

craig rollo21 September 2009

WII IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IS THE WII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uome21 September 2009

How can we have world of warcraft without considering what is widely belived to be the first game that came up with the phrase mmorpg ULTIMA ONLINE! Coined by it's creater Richcard Garriott. It is still very popular despite being well over 10 years old and imo wow wouldn't have even existed without it.

joey2521 September 2009

where is the ps3, mac os x 10.0 [which was 10 x better than xp] and there is no good options for the computer section like dual core and graphics cards and why cant we choose our own gadgets.

joey2521 September 2009

and the sky is better than virgin as there are more boxes and i dont think you can vote for the internet as it was set up in 1995. and it isnt to apple orientated and the ps3 is way better than the xbox and wii erm blue ray and the cell processor and the 60gb ps3 is the best one ever.

tj22 September 2009

Clever... splitting the iPod vote to give the others a chance! Anyway, wouldn't this have made more sense if it was a vote for the gadgetry itself rather than a branded product? (ie "digital camera sensor which could rival 35mm film" rather than Nikon D70 etc etc...) And if you want a real gadget, what about, for example, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Pro watch? Sports gadget - the GriGri? Gadgets don't need batteries chaps (come to think of it there's a weekly feature for you...)

joe22 September 2009

ps3 is the best end of

Stimp22 September 2009

I'm so glad you put the PS2 in there over the new PS3 as the PS3 was the biggest disappointments the game industry I think has EVER known. PS2 was so on the ball when it can out and had some of the Greatest games ever to be put out, Sony seem to have gone from the top of the Gaming market to scratching around on the floor looking for scraps of anything the 360 has to throw away., Even Nintendo has made one of the great come backs of the decade and the wii is much better than it's big and bulky competitor PS Poop. Vote PS2, I Have and if your all true to yourself you'll do the same. You know the score PS2 Is, and always will be a classic games console and a deserving winner of gadget of the decade. Stimp313

miguel22 September 2009

Chromatic22 September 2009

Terrible selection of products guys, you're supposed to be technology experts! Sky+? Got that and I have to say that my ancient and decrepid Tivo still kicks its bum for usability and ease of use. Nikon D70? Why that DSLR over something from Canon, Sony or whoever? Original iPod? That wasn't the first, the easiest to use or even the best value, iTunes was the real story there. I'd also agree with earlier posters - where are gadgets like portable sat-nav, Wi-Fi and digital TV (to suggest just a few)?

Matty22 September 2009

Vote wi fi it has chainged our lives............. xbox 360 live PS3 live and so on.............

LOlolololol23 September 2009

Waaaay!!!!

FrenchBoy23 September 2009

I voted for spotify, Why you may ask, Simple, It has changed my life ! I deleted all of my music and i'm only using this great software, Although it occasionally has to buffer it's the best way for me to get to listen to new tracks that have just been released, It's also the only site where i would buy a premium account, Not to mention that it's only in Beta, Just imagine what it will be like when it's fully released ? For me it's the gadget of the decade !

Abilouise23 September 2009

The choice of catagories and specific products doesn't really make much sense. And it would have been good if there were seperate hardware and software catagories for PC. Putting the Xbox and Wii in, but leaving out the PS3 is just so wrong, lol. The PS3 has the best games, and of the three it is the most future proof, with firmware updates, and it's games being on a superior format (blu-ray) It's brought Blu-ray movies to people who would otherwise have not had it so early, not to mention the whole idea of having a media hub, which without the PS3 very few people would have taken to so soon, for music, movies, online streaming. It even had remote play with the PSP. Modern gadgets are about multi tasking, no other games cosole does that like the PS3:)

Abilouise23 September 2009

I forgot to say, the gadget show is the best factual show on TV, Suzi, Jason, Ortis and Jon, you are all absolutly fantastic, and a perfect team, so thanks for a wonderful, funny, informative show:)

Crizmo The Oracle23 September 2009

Why on earth is there no option to vote for the PS3? It it the biggest gaming revolution of the decade. It has an 8 core cell broadband engine for pete's sake!

Jedy24 September 2009

Windows Movie Maker??? WTF??? It is widely known that basic movie making on the PC sucks. What about iMovie? Yes it's part if iLife but so what. iMovie has revolutionised home movie making and the iLife package has helped sell many Macs. As I recall, The Gadget Show did a test on video editing a number of series ago using a top of the range Dell laptop and a lower priced Macbook with iMovie and the Mac came out on top.

Will 24 September 2009

IMHO this has been totally geared up for the iPhone to win. And that really is a poor show. My winner is the XBox 360 for what it's worth.

gadgetkilla24 September 2009

hello guys is there any other way to enter the gadget show compititons without using the phone my mum and dad don't let me do it they say its expencive and how many min dose the call held like 3 or 6 min ??????????????????????????????? i beg you guys to tell me plz

kate25 September 2009

i voted for mine did u vot for urs i picked the best kind of any way

Jack26 September 2009

Where is the Playstation 3??? That is the best, you need to put PS3 on there!!!

Tik26 September 2009

I say sat-nav.

Adrian Clarke26 September 2009

Almost pointless with the Gadget show making the list of their own choices - what about the underlying technology that make the latest and greatest viable - from Open Source Software to the lower power consumption of the various ARM chips - almost every mobile has at least one ARM device and new ones have two or more - and it's a British developed technology as well. The later devices still to arrive labelled "Smartbooks" with embedded GPS, mobile phone, Broadband, and still work as any laptop with superior extended battery life are only possible because of the ARM chip. We all have our favourite, it is a shame the Gadget-show hasn't made an open selection instead of a limited subset, guess it would be too expensive for the show to run a more comprehensive vote.

Steve26 September 2009

Hi, what a shame that the list has been made up of branded products, that look more like a sponsors dream. This list should have been made up of product types - e.g. Mobile Phone, Laptop, Internet, DVD Recorder, Games Console, Freeview Set-top Box, Digi Camera, LCD TV, MP3, etc, the list is endless and would reflect our modern life as it has become, instead we get given a list of brands that sell some items which are not even worth the money you pay for, as better products can be found from other makers. Poor, very poor. However, the idea was good and it will be interesting to see the results.

guy man27 September 2009

spotify is rubbish grooveshark rocks!!!!!!!!!

Derek Thomson28 September 2009

i cant believe there is no place in the gadget of the decade for the humble sat nav system. it would have been my top pick as i use this more than any other gadget. i hardly know anyone now that does not own one. the same cant be said for a lot of the other gadgets on the list.

Paul28 September 2009

Just voted! A little bit disappointed with the selection available to be honest. For me, GOTD is something that 10 years ago nobody had but today we cannot live without - the GorillaPod certainly doesn't fall into that category. Here's my top 3 GOTD: 1. The Internet, especially WiFi: The backbone of all good gadge! 2. The USB Memory stick: Awesome storage power in your pocket 3. Google Search: I think I've used it almost every day this century...

benjamin28 September 2009

no ps3 what failer

Gizmo28 September 2009

vickaz9128 September 2009

PS3 4 THE WIN ALL THE WAY WITH KILLZONE 2 BEST GAMING CONSOLE BY FAR

Jay Patterson28 September 2009

This wasn't as good as it should of been, their are barely any choices for each section and they are missing alot of very good gadgets that would deserve to be the gadget of the year such as the PS3 and the PSP.

Mick28 September 2009

Have voted but very disappointed that the Nokia N93 was not included. A great Phone & Brilliant Camera to boot.

Alastair C Parker29 September 2009

I could not get any voting buttons to work on either Opera or even Internet Explorer! None (or only one) gadget name had the Vote button next to it! However, trying again (for the fourth time I think) with Google Chrome worked a treat! (What a good thing I have three Web browsers installed on my PC!). Why doesn't The Gadget Show test these voting pages with all the popular Web browsers, to make sure they work, before users like me try and then give up in frustration?! I am sure I am not the only one who has had problems in trying to vote for the Gadget of the Decade! At the time when it didn't work, I thought the closing date had already been reached! LOL! Anyway, my votes have been cast now, and remain a secret! However, where are the Dell XPS PCs (like my 720 tower system?). These machines are brill for gaming, with their high-end graphics and sound cards, although I use mine for serious stuff, like digital photography with Photoshop 6.0 and playing DVDs and other digital video. Also, what happened to the forthcoming 2 TB Sony Memory Sticks? Imagine a whole two terabytes (give or take some space for memory card operation) of storage to play with! Also, I think palmtop PCs (such as my own HP iPaq 214) should have been in the lists somewhere.

John Wilson29 September 2009

To all of those who wanted to vote for the internet - doh it was available to joe public well before 1999, not a Noughties device. Not a bad choice of lists, but you should have had a list for Smartphones alone, there are so mant to choose from. But Windows XP, please.............Microsoft are so hated that every hacker out there attacks them, so they have to update all the time, slow your PC down to the point it's useless, or needs so much maintenance it's like running a classic car - come on what about Ubuntu, Linux has finally grown up, and is usuable by everyone, works great on old systems, and it's free!

paulrazzell29 September 2009

all I got is a laptop of a acer and 32inch tv digital tv lot of channels is really everything is good???

Rob Bennett29 September 2009

The gadget of the decade...why can't we pick our own tech?

brandon29 September 2009

dude no PS3 ? c'mon by far one of the best it has blue ray, free internet, and the 2 best games littlebigplanet and killzone2 im so annoyd that its not on there

erictheviking29 September 2009

Voting done and dusted. Shame realy that your not given a vote on our own for the best gadget/ invention of the decade. Mine would have been the nem Hydrogen car only available in the USA at the moment. 0 emisions and totally green frendly

joe 29 September 2009

I enter your competition every week and of course i ever win =( i would love a ps3 but i cannot afford it.... you give away a ps3 and around £15,000 of gadgets, so i thought you would be able to give me a ps3 for free =P Joe

monsoon6629 September 2009

karl jarrett29 September 2009

ummm what about wi fi something that i could not do without plus all such things as laptops ipod touch or iphones would be pointless come on gadget show show some love for the creation that is wi fi

Jason30 September 2009

Once again we are restricted to a pre determined list so not going to vote. The best gadget in the last decade is WiFi, for without which alot on the list wouldn't be on the list

Loz30 September 2009

I think that the ipod touch is the best gadget of the decade :DD its the funnest easiest ipod to use

lukeyman01 October 2009

Loved the Masking Tape comment... :O)

lee01 October 2009

NO PS3 how can they do that they got all the major games consoles butt not the PS3!! they even got the crapy Nintendo Ds :{. It by far one of the best things made in thi decade it would be hard to choose out of PS3 and the IPHONE.

chris01 October 2009

I agree fully with John Wilson, Ubuntu is comonly everyones first step with linux, and has had far greater innovations than microsoft ever had. it would be quite nice if a greatest operating system of all time was run.

Haryboo 10001 October 2009

Vote XBOX360 as it is clearly the best console ever made and sure to be a winner!!!!The ps3 is not on here as it is a copy of the 360 and does not deserve to win. ;)

nayfen 01 October 2009

I think that youtube is the best "Computing" gadget of the Decade! Hands down =]

andysuth02 October 2009

Why are the Gadget Show so Pro Apple? Apple do pretty things, but seldom include actual new features, nor do they listen to user feedback. I cracked up when they brought out the iPhone 3Gs and advertised non-stop "If you want to cut and paste, we've got an app for that!!!" - oh please! I could cut and paste on a SE P900i, why did it take 3 generations of iPhone for them to realise people wanted that? Gadget show should not be so easily swayed by large corporations literally ploughing money into advertising like Apple do. This is just money they take from their customers (the viewers). -AS

pete02 October 2009

Can't believe the Nokia N-Gage didn't make the list.

Robert02 October 2009

PS3? Why is it not there?

moljinerdude02 October 2009

XBOX 360 AND LIVE FOR THE WIN XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jordan B03 October 2009

Well its a hard choise Tech has just gotten so much better over the last 10 years But it has to be the nintendo wii.

Balram03 October 2009

Believe me! THE PS2 HAS WON IT!!! WOO HOO SONY! I VOTED FOR EVERYTHING WHICH HAD SONY/GOOGLE ON IT LOOL! = P I HATE MICROSOFT, WELL ONLY THEIR CONSOLES = )

thealien04 October 2009

The selections really helped me make the distinction between tech, and gadgetry. Tech has come on so much in the last decade e.g. nano, touch-screen/interface, processing/speed, wireless etc. It's purpose and place in everyday life has come on equally e.g. life enhancing, labour/time saving, good old fashoned fun! Then I looked over the selections to offer my judgements. Unexpectedly, I felt my decisions concerned matters of beauty or preference in use, rather than genuine contribution for the greater good. The list of gadgets underwhelmed me. Finally, I decided I'm not tech person, but love all of you who are, esp. the Gadget Show Team. Great fun, best thing on TV. Long may you gadge!

amy04 October 2009

i think that the best phone is the i phone 3gs and know one can top that and if u can lets see u try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben04 October 2009

The wii isthe best

Ziko04 October 2009

I voted on something but options were completely wrong!

callum04 October 2009

LOL no ps3. 360 will win its simply the best

samousbg05 October 2009

the iphone is going to be a clear winner

kdre8705 October 2009

ps3 should be in, but i will give it to the wii, its got everyone playing games, not just kids but older people aswell

Lee05 October 2009

Not the easiest to navigate, why not add a button [next category] rather than having to mess about going backwards Also where do I get to vote for Second Life? Where do I get to vote for Little Big Planet?

Simon C05 October 2009

Wii. Then iPod 1st Gen - Nanos look nicer but the memory is rubbish! My old one is 8G, thats only about 400 songs!

Nerd Herd05 October 2009

hat is wrong with all the other gadgets not on your lists btw jason where do you get your glasses there so cool :D

Ben Scally05 October 2009

Yo Xbox 360 is awsome Jason Bradbury do u have xbox live i do email me your gamertag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ill email u mine btw i watch every week and it would be great if u could do wall of fame again plz

Chris05 October 2009

The PS2 swings it for me. it changed the gameing world forever, at its peak time it was vertualy unconteseted and changed millions of peoples lives for ever. i love it and i think its the best gadget ever...

Rob05 October 2009

NO PS3!!! But there is xbox :O!!

brian05 October 2009

x box 360 rocks

Binsy05 October 2009

How about napster,peer-to-peer! or at least online distribution! It's changed everything, made data much more accessible and cheaper to distribute too. The legacy of it is the present and future of music film and television distribution. It's had a huge affect on the digital world and pioneered a far better way of accessing data on demand!

Gav06 October 2009

Sorry guys but gadget show has lost some brownee point's from me re: this gadget of the decade, no ps3 !!! i meen come on it has full hd, blu ray, free online gaming,linking to the psp and an add on so you can record the telly. yes the x box is good but to make the console do anything other than play games it costs and buying the "elite"version is almost the same price as a ps3 and it still doesn't match it for functions. as far as consoles go the ps3 is the best gadget but people vote for what they own.

mikenco06 October 2009

The Internet itself.. Apache server OS being the biggest player.. are you just too commercial for your own gains? What about Photoshop?.. Edit Pad, Notepad++.. Numerous other open source text editors. Almost ALL of the tech you are pushing would be nothing without the builders who use the the software I have mentioned. I love the show, but please give a nod to the hundreds of thousands of guys who write the internet which you herald so highly.

simon06 October 2009

Why do we only have a small list of your favorite gadget to chose from. I think there are lots of other really good gadgets that should be listed. things like the logitech squeezeboxmusic server, xda2i pda/phone, or G2 phone and lots of open source software like ubuntu.

dude06 October 2009

y isant the internet on here its changed everything in our lives from the way we shop , listen to music ( itunes) , play games (xbox live) evan the way we communicate to each othere (facebook). or did it come out at an earler date but i thought it was quiet new

godog600006 October 2009

woooo I love this show MORE MORE MORE

Tom Pinsent06 October 2009

Ok, i think i voted for the best things here, but a lot of it was a hard decision to make. If you do another poll like this, you could try to make it categories, like mobile phones, music players, games consoles and stuff. I guess that wouldn't be that specific, though, 'coz this was only for the decade and many of those things where made before 1999. Anywho, you could do a poll for the best gadget/gadgets of all time? Good work, though. =] Tom.

Tom Pinsent06 October 2009

Oh, and btw, all you guys who are saying ps3 is better than xbox 360? The thing is, yeh the xbox has the red rings, but the ps3 has an equivalent - the yellow light. Your ps3 can get properly messed up and you get the yellow light. Thing is, when you get this, you can't even turn you're ps3 on anymore. I'm not sure how it works, but it can be worse than the red rings. Stick with the xbox ^.^ Take care, anyway. Tom.

Jon Shreeve06 October 2009

No Playstation 3 your selection IS floored, XBOX 360 best next gen console ? I don't think so, I'm doing this through my PS3 one of many things the Xbox 360 can't do plus all for FREE.

Dylan06 October 2009

well in computing its got to be the macbook because if you voted for youtube or facebook or windows XP you need a PC to run it so there

Mark06 October 2009

I can't believe that the Gadget show tech team can't come up with a better way to allow people to vote easily! Why the hell do you have to keep going back to the Vote Now page? Thanks for the thanks for my vote but why the hell are you not offered the opportunity to vote for another category via a direct link???

Marvin Hall07 October 2009

Now people what about wifi wireless with out it most of theres things would be pointless

Marvin 07 October 2009

TYPICAL TRIVIAL C5 - your populist agenda means Apple get butt-kissed again - purely beacuse they market - as an example see what the IPAQ HW6900 series phones did YEARS before! - Why am i wasting my time here...........

DooDah07 October 2009

No PS3???? that would have my vote

Cyril07 October 2009

Yes, TiVo is missing -it's still 20 years ahead of Sky+ in terms of functionality and software intelligence (it just needs some updated hardware)! Also where's the Palm Pre ,Sonos, Slingbox, Squeezebox, Tapwave,Nexio and lots of other HTC phones and PDAs?

gamerboss07 October 2009

me to doodah

Chubbs07 October 2009

IPod 1st Gen is the best coz it has inspiered all other versions of the IPod selection and without the IPod 1st Gen ther would be no IPhone which would suck majorly!!! XD

daniel blezard08 October 2009

had my vote

JOHN CAHILL09 October 2009

MY BEST GADGET OF THE DECADE IS NOT LISTED. THE NOKIA 6630 WAS THE FIRST ALL SINGING ALL DANCING MOBILE PHONE. THIS MOBILE WAS THE FIRST 3G ENABLED SMARTPHONE TO BE RELEASED IN THE UK AND HAD THE SYMBIAN SERIES 60 OPERATING PLATFORM WHICH IS STILL USED TO THIS DAY. THIS PHONE HAD EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE ON SMARTPHONES TODAY: EXPANDABLE MEMORY, WIFI, BLUETOOTH, MEDIAPLAYER FOR MP3/MP4, DOWNLOADABLE APPS, GAMES, THEMES, THE LIST GOES ON. FOR ME THIS IS THE GADGET OF THE DECADE BECAUSE THIS WAS THE PHONE THAT SET THE STANDARD FOR ALOT OF PHONES ON THE MARKET TODAY.

Robert Hudd10 October 2009

Much as it pains me to admit it, the gadget of the decade has to be the iPod. I can't see how you would argue otherwise! So much has followed its invention. Strangely enough though, I voted for Spotify as the music gadget of the decade. I suppose the reason being that the iPod influenced so much more than just MP3 players (Phones, PMPs, etc). Whilst Spotify has just had a huge influence on music playing (well...so far just music, anyway...who knows what the future holds)! N95 all the way for phone gadget of the decade, by the way! :)

shashiPS311 October 2009

Where's the PS3??

ashley11 October 2009

i think the x box 360 must win because its been around for years with its amazing graphics and is owned by millions of people around the world!!!!!!!!

ash11 October 2009

xbox 360 for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

james jones 12 October 2009

i phone should win and if u did a sexy girl award it would defo would be vicky lloyd and suzi perry

jacob smith12 October 2009

weres the PS3!!! come on it has a bluray player, outstanding graphics and a line of amazing games instead you put the s*i*box 360

Paul Reeves12 October 2009

No satnavs!! Mine has made a bigger improvement to my life than any other gadget. Unlike most gadgets there is really no downside.

Aaron12 October 2009

wheres the ps3????????????

Snugglepants12 October 2009

If you are having problems deciding what gadget to vote for. I would reccomend to vote for the game World of Warcraft since its one the the most succesful game of all time with over 14 million players. =)

geoff12 October 2009

why cant we vote for individual things not pre selected stuff. my vote would go to broadband as the ultamate gadget of the decade

Mark12 October 2009

Why no PS3? It's by far the best of the consoles listed (PS2 perhaps excluded).

craigy12 October 2009

made my vote go for the n95 "yea the battery rubbish but god its good" have fun every one oh and merry x-mas ha ha ha ha

StompingFreak12 October 2009

I have owned all consoles since NES. Why would anyone vote for a PS3? its only use is as a blu-ray player. Xbox360/Xboxlive is impressive. Wii is great fun. Sony lost it, thinking they owned the market. MS Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii for the win!!

StefanCornwall12 October 2009

Best ever gadgets of not only this decade, but influenced and set the standards in future innovative products in my opinion has got to be the 1st generation iPod, the iPhone and the Mac portable for the following reasons: iPod: Lets face it, we all have music CD's, albums, etc., that before the iPod came along the players were cumbersome and lacked storage. iPhone: The iPhone set the real standard benchmark and still does, in touch, apps, etc., which is forever expanding with advances in technology. The Apple Mac portables: These are outstanding and also set the standard benchmark in technological advances which others had to follow it's never ending lead. Since obtaining myself, I say to those who have Windows oh dear, they obviously like spending a great amount of time on their computer and have nothing better to do in their lives but keep getting errors, blue screen of death, viruses, hardware not compatible, etc., etc., etc......

Grant Muir13 October 2009

I had to vote for the iphone I cannot imagine my life without it,I've only had it for 9 months!!!!

Thamas13 October 2009

You haaave to vote for Xbox 360 , spotify (it rocks!) and iphone!!!!!

Simon Reeves13 October 2009

Not voting for any of these. The iPhone is vastly overrated, and the only thing thats only impressed me in the last 10 years, is the PS3. Why it's not listed in beyond comprehension. Any outcome from this poll, in my mind, is irreverent.

last tag13 October 2009

well, my votes are in, and i got to say, best gadget, changed how we view things and store data, got to be the flash drive! music files, pdf's, programs, anything, all storable and instantly transferable, and only 2-3 inches!? amazing!

Tom P13 October 2009

totally agree with other comments. No ps3, gadget show what were u thinkin?? my opinion the best out there, so wont be voting now

Nazif13 October 2009

Oh thers soo many wicked gadgets i love the wii and iphone but im angry thers no ps3 but only 1 can win i cant win

HrdKncks13 October 2009

We all know who's already won...YOUTUBE!!!! The only thing I can think of that comes close to it. Is the IPOD. P.s The IPHONE is well overrated

charlotte morley13 October 2009

the x box 360 and the ds lite are the best in the world. i have both

davros15513 October 2009

Nintendo wii must win its brilliant!(:

Paulus13 October 2009

Gadget of the decade? Errrrrrr, should you not wait until the decade is over? There are ten years in a decade, so you need to wait until the ten years are over, i.e. two thousand and TEN. History tells us that better gadgets will be available 12 months after any given year so come on guys get with the programme! Oh I forgot. You just reading scripts! Paulus

nick14 October 2009

What wheres the PS3 (60gig model) ps2 compatability,one of the best blu-ray players on the market, memory card reader-writer for movie,photo,and goodness knows what else.wi-fi 4 usb ports especally handy when using linux not to mention the best HD gaming rig many people underestimated the raw power and capability of this model admitidly games were slow but look at the range now (THIS WOULD BE MY GADGET OF THE DECADE).

chris14 October 2009

how can anyone vote ps3 over xbox 360 all the stuf you get on the 360 is mind blowing and what can ps3 come up with lets see they make it a diff shape wow what did they do with the psp o changed its shape i say why not make it thiner to start with then spend the time making new apps and better games like xbox dose sky tv twiter face book msn movie downloads full xbox 360 and xbox game on demand if you ask me playstation will be a fing of the past if xbox keeps going long live the 360

mojo16 October 2009

I just started voting in 'computing gadget of the decade' and i don't get it - how can you put hardware up against software? I mean come on, a flash drive vs google earth? What kind of competition is that? I'm not sure on what merits I should be deciding. The most indispensible? That might make more sense, And why facebook over myspace? Sure, facebook is better, but if the idea is to award social networking then myspace really deserves the credit for starting the revolution. Maybe even friendster! I was very keen to vote but the choices are making me unsure what i'm really voting for! On the other hand, I am quite sure what the winner of the most confusing poll will be. Ah well, no matter. I love the show and that's what counts :)

kieran allen from CFN16 October 2009

i voted on every catergory its all about NG11

...17 October 2009

Voted, couldnt you have ruled out the gadgets we diddnt vote from in the other categories for the overall section... should have had "the plasma screen tv" as one...

bazza17 October 2009

The best gadget of the decade is the modern internet. If you know about the cloud and how that has revolutionised every piece of gadget hardware, you will see that thatis the greatest and more prevailing gadget of all time. Hardware will come and go, take many shapes, but the INTERNET will always be here to give them purpose. Alas the Apple army will sully these votes, so there no point.

Anonymous17 October 2009

voted for all. can't wait for the results!

CobraEcosse17 October 2009

How can the PS3 not be included? It has brought home media systems to the masses, blue ray, media sharing from PC's, internet acces, online gaming, cant believe its been left off the list.. What where you thinking?? This is a major mistake to not include a major console which is much more than just a games machine. WOW Gadget show, major blunder

CobraEcosse17 October 2009

Why was there not a write in box for people to nominated and vote on items left of the list, seems a bit arbituary to say this is the only items you can vote on, a bit like a Zimbabwe election ! Everyone has a free vote but your telling us who we're allowed to vote for...hmmmm come on this is a farce, especially with some of the items not included for voting. Poor and very shoddy, a bit like the five website !

CobraEcosse17 October 2009

Really really disappointed with this vote, not open, not up to the public to decide the winner, a list of certain products pushing us into picking from a narrow front. Seems & feels like it is being pushed by vested interests, not impressed , that more of the gadget show than this. Should have been up to us to pick items & products with an open option to enter any product we chose, would have been interesting. This, this just feels like a marketing scheme, PS2 but no PS3??? Why the Wii then and not the NES.... Big big let down....

CobraEcosse17 October 2009

Channel Five and the Gadget Show , please please listen to your public, your viewers and reassess this poll. So many great items not on the list. How can SatNav not be here somewhere... has changed how we navigate. Theres two games (who chose these??) on the list, what places these higher than others that changed gaming. Some consoles on the list but one of the major media usage changing consoles left out..no PS3?? I ask you..how??? Broadband/internet not listed...how???Why?? External hard drives for pc's, changed how we store our files, but not here. How can you choose one social network site over another, no twitter for one?? This has to be rethought or it will be so devalued and the public will feel it is a product led, marketing pushed, company based sham. Seriously who came up with this list?? Because it is far from even being close to being a fair assessment of the best products. Come on do the right thing, clear this out and have a re-vote. This is not right and I'm sure you all know this. Redo the vote with new products and an open slot for write in votes to choose products not included, the only way this will be fair. Seriously...come on , give the people a voice and let them choose for them selfs. Unless it never was meant to be fair & open....you decide,because seemingly we're not allowed to !

pad78vw18 October 2009

Surely the decade ends at the end of next year, shouldn't we have this vote thing this time next year? Who knows what gadget will come out between then and now?

Well I've voted, but what an odd mix!?! Who chose them and what was the selection based on? Very bizarre

Radical8826 October 2009

PS3 PS3 PS3 Really how ridiculous that its not included.Clearly they know there would be no competition if it was. Im actually complaing to 5.

Jack26 October 2009

the ps3s obviously much more AWESOMER than the rubbi xbox360. FREE internet subscription, BAZILLIONS of AMAZING high definition games - littlebigplanet-awesome, resident evil 5, call of duty, and tons more, and downloadable stuff of PlayystationStore, most of it FREE! xbox360 live COSTS! the ps3 is way better graphics as well!

amandaA26 October 2009

What no PSP... how can that be? portable gaming and movies... come on get real everyone.

Eoghan 26 October 2009

i hope x box or i phone wins I love x box and fifa 10

gadgeman26 October 2009

Beth26 October 2009

OMG your show is the best. I really want to go to the live show but my parents wont let us enter. Oh well I gave it a shot. Love you guys Cya!

dave26 October 2009

you lot really need to get into the spirit of competition =} WHEYyYyY

hamster26 October 2009

seriously! are they the best gadgets you could think of? there are much better gadgets than all of them. however the wii has to be the best entertainment, because think about it it is innovative and it is fun and gets everybody involved and it suits to all kinds of people!!!!!!!!!!

Lee Hayward26 October 2009

theres no PS£ in the entertainment section whats up with that?

Sam26 October 2009

At my school, everyone is always taking part in the PS3/Xbox360 war. The only reasons that I always stick with the Xbox are firstly I have one. Secondly, they're cheaper. And thirdly I already spent money on a PS2. So thats why. Also, I'm saving up for a PS5 ;-)

Richard26 October 2009

Half these gadgets are just crowd-followers. What about some genuinely innovative products- OK you have some here, but what about sat-navs? Also, I have a garmin foretrax which is a wrist worn GPS which is pretty cool. The voting system is soooo tedious! I'm really surprised how bad it is and would have expected far more.

the...ghost26 October 2009

looking forward to the results!!

Harlan Chapman-Green27 October 2009

I am a massive fan of The Gadget Show and I love to use them! But there wasn't a Nintendo DSi in the gaming section! PS, i hope that the iPhone wins the Comp!

Mealey27 October 2009

no PS3!! iphone or Wii??

chris27 October 2009

My fav is xbox 360 ive had one for 1 year now and i still cant get my self of it sooo good pllllzzz get gadget of decade jason=cool john=knows everything!!!!! suzi=knows her stuff!!!!!!!

Froggy27 October 2009

I do think that the gadget of the decade would have to be the WiFi connection that enables the laptop, the mobile "smart" phone, notebooks and other such devices to be used virtually anywhere. Also where is the sony reader. I love it and its changed my small house completely. Thanks though and I think this is the funest show about gadgets around and I would love all the gadgets except the gaming ones as I am very bad at these. Awesome guys!!!

Matthew K27 October 2009

I think the wii is by far the best!! Its entertaining and you can get really good games on it.Macbook is good and it was hard to choose the best one out of them all na the wii is by far the best.Apple is awesome!!!they produce excellent computers. this is my opinion so other people might have different opinions but don't comment on my opinion. thank you matthew

Matthew K27 October 2009

why do people like ps3s when the wii is more fun and is more entertaining.whats the point of voting for a psanything xbox and wii are much much better. You should have different categories and what's the point when you vote for one thing you have to waste a load of time to get back to the voting page awful.my opinion don't comment on it thank you matthew

Dean Walker27 October 2009

ii VOTED XBOX iiTS THE BEST MY LiiVE GT iiS TOXiiK GAMER ADD ME ii LOVE GADGET SHOW MY FAV SHOW

scott k27 October 2009

what about ps3 it is 10 times better than anything in the gaming section

Monnayage28 October 2009

I think that one of the main gadgets of the decade has to be either windows xp or mac book because they have been so succesful, and without xp we might not of had windows 7 now or with out the mac book we might not of have, well laptops with apple software on them... The X-box 360 good but bad with the red ring of death, the i phone is good but can get a little to well wide in your palm, just think about someting befor you vote, and i must say Dominic Watkins you have a good point but i think they want to find out witch is the best out of all of them....

david gover28 October 2009

I remember when a computer took up a whole room!

Mols28 October 2009

TheJokerFan28 October 2009

I voted!!!!!. XD. The stuff I voted for has to win. X )

someone!28 October 2009

Were is the G1 phone or even the G2 phone and what about the PS3? I would like it if you would put on the intrnet on the best computer gadget because nothing as out run the internet. If you do not put the PS3 in then i will vote for the Wii. WII TO WIN!!! The best gadget i would say was the Flip ultra. I think that you should put the mp4 in the music gadget becuase it is BRILL!!!

Ryan29 October 2009

iPhone is the best it takes phones to a new level and Suzi is beatutiful :D

Phil29 October 2009

voted - no PS3 or sat nav !! got to say this is one of the poorest websites you could build for one of the best gadget tv shows - come on it's rubbish !! Kill the bunny advert in the corner !! drives me mad.......

Emily29 October 2009

Where is the PS3!!? It is by far the best entertainment gadget, computing gadget and overall gadget! I have voted on the categories that actually have a gadget that is worthy but come on guys what are you thinking!!

Joe9030 October 2009

Best photography gadget has to be the Nikon D3X, but it's not on the list?

Anupam Patra30 October 2009

aj31 October 2009

ps2 ps2 ps2 cool cool cool !!!!!!!!!!!

Richard31 October 2009

The Best Gadget of the past 10 years isn't on your list so ill just write it in a comment. I feel the best gadget of the past ten years has to be the Intel Pentium 4 Processor and here why: It's given way to the future of computing' only last year companies around the word were using systems with the P4 and still now many people me being one of them still prefer it to its upgrade. Without the P4, the Duel,Quad and the Core 2 Duo processors wouldn't of been born as the P4 Hyper Thread Processor is basically the foundation for most modern processors giving us the computing power we'd never thought we'd see in our lifetime therefore the Pentium 4 has to be the best gadget of the past 10 years

tim31 October 2009

Wheres the ps3 thats got my vote and xbox is rubbish

timinator31 October 2009

the easy winner is the xbox 360 just because the online play is very good and the best game halo 3

jonny31 October 2009

The ps3 should definitely be there.

bailey01 November 2009

where is ps3 it can play music it has bbc iplayer and has the best grafics of any console and can play the best games ever!!!!!!! (and u can use google through it!!!)(and can hold hundreds of photos)(and can have 500 gig of memory) so big loss there gadget show oh and I voted =P

Jonny01 November 2009

I hate to say this but i have to after the description on the xbox 360. I do not think the gadget show know their tech as well as they think. Come on you should not even be thinking that the 360 has more to offer than the ps3. Yes it has a good online feature and for a while there xbox did have the best online feature but lets not kid ourselves here the ps3 has came a long way and is the best next gen console and no one should even be comparing the xbox to it. In the words of sky "It is like having a super computer in your living room" anyone who thinks the xbox is better should really take another look. I have had my ps3 since the day it came out and i have not had 1 problem not one. As for everyone that i know that has an xbox they were not so lucky. It does not even have wireless and overheats so much that you have to buy a fan if you want it to last longer than a month. nuff said

meekos01 November 2009

Very dissapointed with the choice of tech! Why is the PS2 on here instead of the PS3???

carl.armaniFONE02 November 2009

hi im sure that the ' samsung armani p520 phone should be included to vote as its the most sleek reliable and sexy phone ever. but since its not availible to vote for i have voted for the nokia 3310 as if i remember was the first phone (or one of them ) with an internal antenna , awsomeness at its best great show i hope i make it to the nec birmingham next year

Squirrel2202 November 2009

why is the ps3 not on here when it is the best buy for gaming on this website!!!!! btw xbox 360 fans ps3 has an internet browser and playstation network is free and the wii has an internet browser and they don't have to pay for online services

andy02 November 2009

what thee... where is the ps3 really? the best gaming console! lets see if the ps2 beats the xbox 360, wudn't suprise me much playstation rule. (especially the ps3 slim) mint show btw.

Paul Mchugh02 November 2009

Glad to see the ps3 not in any of the catergories. after all it promised (the long uploads and rubbish network system it doesn't deserve to be there) the only thing worth while in the machine (blu ray) deserves it's own vote.

Elliot02 November 2009

windows is there why no apple snow leopard? I have a smug grin no ps3, I think the best gadget is the iPhone is best, yeh I love everything apple apart from there shocking headphones.

Ethaneo02 November 2009

i say da xbox360

oO0xM4TTx0Oo02 November 2009

Xbox 360 rules!! It's gotta win!! Down with PS3

Martin Love02 November 2009

Why would you put Windows XP... Linux is far far superior that any of the Microsoft operating systems... An guess what.. It's free and you have everything you need already built in. Word processor, spreadsheet etc and the list goes on and on... Your meant to be a tech show.. For real geeks, it's got to be Linux (openSUSE for me)

michael haze02 November 2009

why isn't the pioneer cdj 2000 on it or the 1000 or the 400 on the music gadget of the cnetury because the cdj 2000 if defo the best music gadget of the century

Martin02 November 2009

The best music gadget is jack.

Johan02 November 2009

Done

James02 November 2009

What the HELL where's the PS3, were you high or somot OMG! There's tones of like ANCIENT tech plus the Wii WTF this is just not gaming in any way, NINTENDO have lost the market for those hardcore gamers and also forgot about them. Like PS3 and xbox360 have still got a market for proper gaming not wii fit or jumpin around it's just not gaming. O' sorry lost track there, NO IPHONE 3GS, no vista, BUT atleast there's YOUTUBE! LOL BRB!!!

Dawson02 November 2009

Sat nav has got to be the Gadget of the Decade. It is for all ages, young and old. They are in cars, mobiles, work vehicles (anywhere really) - everyone uses them in every day life. It isn't even in your listing!!!

NancyLoveland:)02 November 2009

OMGOMG! I love this show. I dunno I just looking at gadgets, its just so odd. I'm allways in the shops down the town in all the gadget shops. On the iPhones, In PC World. I just love it all. I think the iPhone is really swish and very cool. I've allways wanted one but I'unno just havn't the money. But my mates got one and I'm just on it everytime I see them. So I had to vote for the iPhone for best phone. If I had to choose a second one it would defo be the Blackberry. I was supprised the iTouch wasn't in the music catagory. I was going to vote for that. But I think the Wii is really good for family fun. Because everyone can join in on that one. Luvtheshow. I don't think I've missed one ! haha... xx Nancy

Tom02 November 2009

where is the ps3?

Daniel Lonsdale02 November 2009

i have votedfor all the categories but one thing i am wondering is where is the PLAYSTATION 3, it is the best gadget ever in the history of the universe.

Naz Scott02 November 2009

Should be the PS3... It's not even on the list!?!!?!?!?#$%@! ?

Killian03 November 2009

You add second life in to the tv advert but there is no sign of it here whys that?

Ian Ellis03 November 2009

Gadget of the decade must be the Windows O/S as without it much of what we enjoy today would not have been possible.

NJC03 November 2009

Looks like there is a furore for the PS3. Can't see why myself, it's hardly a gadget. My favourite has to be the Squeezebox. Completely changed how I listen to music.

Bob03 November 2009

Can't believe the PS3 isn't there - an all round entertainer and not just for gaming. That said, you've got 3 games consoles and endless mobiles to chose from, but no satnav or ebay?

Jordan Theodorou03 November 2009

if any1 hasnt herd ov this legendery show summin iz rong wid em. jason u r my inspiration lol.

Mark03 November 2009

Apple tv?? Iv had mine for a few months and im in love with it. Its as good as an iphone.

loggy9503 November 2009

Why is there no ps3!!! Thats all i do is play my Ps3. There blue ray on the list and the ps3 has that and because of that our discs hold more and are very hard to scratch. Also we have Litle Big Planet which won 3 awords from Game Spot including Game of the show 3 from IGN including innovative design and more befor it was even released. Also we have Killzone 2 with amazing graphics. Its quite supprising that the ps3 isnt on there because hey give it way in the compitition and they use it al the time in the show like wen the were seeing if playing action games makes u relaxed and jason used Killzone2 on the ps3 and Gail (i think was the other one who took part) used flower what im pritty shor is a playstation exclusiv.

chuggs03 November 2009

TIVO TIVO TIVO TIVO TIVO TIVO. How many times should I write it before all the lovely people realise that sky + was a poor copy of TIVO. Infact sky brought the Uk TIVO and tried to banish it from our lives.I was recording, rewinding and pausing live tv back in 2000. Not only that but it would learn what you liked and recorded that aswell. So simple to use. Still widely used in the USA luckily for them it has the added bonus of high def and 3 tuners. Come back TIVO you are the gadget of this century.

Barry03 November 2009

I wish there was a PS3 on here. It's single best gadget of the decade IMO. It includes every multimedia aspect you could ask for along with the best gaming line-up ever made. I'm sorry but it's absolutely ridiculous deciding not to include a PS3 in the best entertainment gadget of the decade. The 360 is the only other one to get my vote, but it's nowhere near as good as the PS3. :(

andrew03 November 2009

seems like a good list of choices....... i think the wireless router or something like that would be good.... and whats with putting 2 types of ipod on the music choice bit... seems like a bit of favouritism

juice03 November 2009

sky + has more channels than tivo and there is sky + hd.

juice03 November 2009

SKY + is the true gadget of the decade with over 800 channels and 60,80 or 120GB!!! of recording space. SKY RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

greg04 November 2009

ross is the best gadget ever

Didn't Stuff magazine already name HTC Hero gadget of the year? Voted USB stick anyways, clear winner.

james06 November 2009

no ps3 it's the best

Gordon06 November 2009

Should have been allowed to vote for anything. There's a lot missing here like Sonos, Sony Walkman and so on. The internet is too old for this award. Should have been a web site category. I can see iPod and iPhone winning thier categories because there is nothing to oppose them. In actual fact there are a multitude of alternatives many of which have better features and sound quality. Disappointing.

gadget biggest fan really i am06 November 2009

love the show and hope the wii does well

RebeccaAmy06 November 2009

I Love Gadget Show :) I Watch It EVERY WEEK :D I Love You Jason :) xx

Mark07 November 2009

Not having PS3 in the list means any result is worthless. I'm not voting on Gadget of the Decade, when it's does not include the gadget of the decade.

BenBowden07 November 2009

apple ipod iphone nd macbook, all very good!!!

Michael07 November 2009

It is quite silly how the PS3 is left out of this competition. Although it had a shaky start, it's had the best year this year and will continue to deliver in the future. Big mistake in leaving it out even though the other two players are both here, which seems highly unfair since the PS3 is by far the most 'gadgety' of the three. The show just seems very biased to me. P.S. to the one that said Sony messed up after the PS2, you do realise the PS2 was slow at the beginning and only really kicked off a few years after release?

Ross Watson07 November 2009

We all know the gadget show get paid to put certain things on and are about as impartial as Mike Riley, no Satnavs? That and Sky+ are the most life changing inventions of the last 10 years.

John Tinley-Howell08 November 2009

I'm a little surprised that the PS3 and iPod Touch are not included. Particularly the iPod Touch should be there, music player, great utilities, games and applications, watch films, podcasts, DAB Radio, to me its better than the iPhone which I find impossible to text.

kiba2408 November 2009

ps2 is best even tho im a ps3 fan ps2 has sold way more than 360 wh should 360 deserve the top spot and also jason likes ps3 more he even said so

Tc08 November 2009

The iPhone is fantastic. It has all my photos, my fav music, I can text, send photos, emails and play games. What else can a man need? iTunes is responsible for some of it's success though. An easy interface and works seamlessly with it.

FREDDIE 09 November 2009

hey guys i love the idea of having a gadget of the year thing i have already voted for loads of things like the Nintendo Wii and the I Phone. P.S LOVE THE IDEA !!

Wrap is a cable and charger tidy and its far better and more ingenious than any of "Sony or Apple's" creations". I bought mine last month and my spaghetti junction draws are no more. Put it on the show, or even your Christmas list.!!! Take a look at it at www.mooreinnovations.com TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!

brett whiles17 November 2009

ps3 is the best console and modern warfare 2 is the the BEST GAME EVER CREATED!!!!!

Danny Cook22 November 2009

It has to be Picasa, simply because I was trying to make a lego film for youtube and I was using Movie maker and it was taking for ever and I didn't have enough hours to do it but with picasa it took me 10 mins and still looked brillant thats why picasa is my gadget of the decade

bobo23 November 2009

xbox modern warfare 2

Gomboc27 November 2009

Did it ever occur to you that within any given product category (e.g. Mobile Phones) there are in-fact some versions that are better than others? :o/

Anonymous07 December 2009

The Android operating system and all of it's mobile phones absolutely suck. You can only install apps onto the internal memory, which doesn't help when it's about 100mb!!! Iphone forever!!! :)

DNKY1207 December 2009

Love the xbox 360 but i can literally say that the award will literally go to either iphone due to its immense popularity (suprising how much a person is willing to pay for one and for iphone 3GS though there isn't much difference with its predecessor) and revolutionary ideas of applications changing what can be done right from the palm of your hand or it will go to the wii as it is the first console to bring the family together for gaming of all age groups and gender also it has revoloutionized gameplay :D

nathanmcmahon07 December 2009

iPhone.

General Disquiet07 December 2009

I guess the problem everyone here is facing is that the last decade has been the most exciting ever for the sheer quantity and diversity of new tech in the market place. Hardly surprising then that few people agree on what is the 'best' tech of the decade - in any event, how on earth do you define best. Is it the most loved, the most used, that which has had the biggest impact, or simply and frivolously, the tech that looks the most cool? One thing is certain though, the next decade seems set for even more mind-blowing tech to hit the high streets than we have seen so far, or even than we can imagine. Perhaps that might be a Gadget Show competition for next year. If you had a choice, what gadget would you want to have in 2019 (or better still, in 2010!).

Wot no Nokia N900? Shame on you .... call yourself 'cutting edge'? The N900 is changing the world of mobile computing as we speak. Soon the ifruit will be classed as a kids toy!!! €heerz

Mike Johnson14 December 2009

The show should change its name to "The Apple Gadget Show" it seems apple cant make anything that isn`t the best in category.

thomas jenney14 December 2009

first of all none of the presenter know what they are talking about , firstly i would like to point ot that knowone in the gadget world or indeed the world calls technology 'gadg' not only is the title of the show is incorrect as the word gadget means small 'fun' device and simply piontless so when they review tv's as gadgets thus incorrect, also the way they review there technology is stupid and inacurate, for example reviewing tv's and they they do not alter the contrast ect to mak he best possible picture, also when reviewing an mp3 you need to use the same headphone simple science ' if one component of an experiment is changed all the overs must be kept equal' thus without this the test is unfair, also the pure idea of a 'gadget' show means that the shows need to be accurate and upto date to todays technology as apple fan boys will know the latest gadget can change is a couple of months so the gadget show must be at least 1 week up to date

Nicola Drew14 December 2009

The iPhone is gadget of the decade ? It's the only choice in the programme I disagree with. For a gadget of the decade I would have said the iPod or the mobile phone itself. But hey I am one voice.

Paul14 December 2009

Surely, although brilliant, YouTube isn't a gadget, it's a website! WiFi is probably one of the most important gadgets ;-)

alan14 December 2009

they only got 1 category right! (photo gadgets) Xp should have been gadget of the decade. where would we be without xp? it has been the best os for 8 years!

sagat14 December 2009

Guys i think you made a mistake with the labelling. You say "Computing hardware" but the winner was Youtube.. I think you should have had a website of the decade and that would have made sense. Just my two cents.

I can't believe you guys missed out the likes of the ps2. Much like the ps3 made blu ray popular, the ps2 made dvd popular...

bry haines14 December 2009

um, you do realise that 2010 is part of this decade?

sophie14 December 2009

I believe you have not kept to the concept of these catergories. E.g photography.. you talk about camera's yet a COMPUTER APP gets the vote? what is the meaning of this. and a computer gaget ? how is youtube a gaget its a internet website.

Foofoo4415 December 2009

The gadget of the decaed has already happend but i missed it but it wont tell you what gadget won

Darren Monk15 December 2009

Gadget Show Guys, appreciate the iPhone is some piece of kit (my wife has one and it is the nut's, I'd love one !!!). However........ it's far to recent to be the gadget of the decade. I can understand the iPod claiming this.(and so is the Wii, even though they are quality also) If you are talking of something that span's 10 years, then really Sky + to me was very clever indeed. Merry Xmas

Martin 15 December 2009

iPhone, gadget of the decade? what a joke. I'm really losing faith in this program, so many good gadgets over the last 10 years and they go for latest mass marketed apple product. Pathetic.

alan15 December 2009

bry haines u r wrong. think about, there are 10 years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 2008 and 2009 which is ten years (therefore a decade) in total if u include 2010 that would be 11 years unless you didn't count 2000 which they did.

Paul15 December 2009

This just goes to show how well Apple market their products since the majority don't know any better than to vote for the iPhone. (or any Apple product come to mention it) We all know that the iPhone doesn't do it's job very well compared to others and it wasn't the first smartphone to emerge during the decade, similarly with the iPod which has been shown to reproduce sound poorly in numerous test on the gadget show and again wasn't the first mp3 player. The might look nice but that's if no comfort if the gadget doesn't do the job! So dump the Apple products and present us with the real gadgets of the decade.

Toby Whaymand15 December 2009

To be honest I think GIMP should have won rather then Photoshop because I generally GIMP is a better product and me saying this as nothing to do with the fact that it's Open Source. GIMP is used by professional and will as the general user and more likely to have more users. You got to remember you can download it on any platform and it comes as standard on Linux which has an estimated 29 Million users.... Which brings me to my other point... Over the last ten years computing as changed there are 4 big boys now... Windows, Apple, Ubuntu and SUSE. You to remember around two years ago it was estimated that Ubuntu had more users then Apple for a short while so it wrong to say in 2009 that a PC is Windows because a PC could be Windows or Linux... or rather Windows or Ubuntu or SUSE. In Britian now you can go to your high street or visit Dell on line and buy a computer with Ubuntu or SUSE pre-insalled. Dell are not the only manufacture doing this now. Ubuntu is very popular in Europe. HP hardware will always be plug and play on Linux...

Erm this show should be called "Apple Fanboy show". Iphone shouldnt even be the best phone of the decade. At the time the first iphone came out the nokia n95 was out. N95 was a pioneer in the mobile phone world. Fisrt phone to have 5mp camera first phone to have GPS with guided navigation. to name a few. All the iphone had was a touchscreen! (no video,no 3g no stereo speakers, no flash, layme camera, no java, no focus) In terms of hardware the n95 is still better speced then the newest Iphone. Apple are masters of propaganda and marketing, Oh and they are thieves and liers.

I don't think the iphone should have won because all it is is a ipod touch but you can call and take pictures off and there are also so many more gadgets way better and they also forgot to include the macbook

LOL IPHONE What a joke it can't even make video calls Can't make phone calls properly Can't send texts properly only the latest addition can send texts. the only thing that the i phone has good is the apps and they where made by public devs rofl

i think they'er wrong bout the 40ft pic challange. ok i get digital has given the world the right to take good and bad pics. but... my problem i have is when they made the 40ft cpic challange. im a graphic designer so i was taught all the different print processes. and i know they would have to scan the film print in were as they could just upload the digital pic. an there in lies the problem a scan of a film picture will become distored at 40-ft were as with the digital pic they could change the dpi to its lostest to get the better pic. its the same for billboards round the uk they are set at 72 dpi so from your car they look good but go up to one and they are pixalated to some degree.

I was disappointed that Apple won most of the Awards of the Decade. Yes, they excel in design and marketing but the customer pays for that deep in the pocket. Also I remember Creative Labs have a long standing legal battle' with Apple about the iPod technology which Creative believe is a copyright violation. The same goes for the technology behind the iPhone which Nokia claim is their technology. Apple products are no brainers ...bling. There are gadgets out there that offer far better value for money. What should have got a mention was the technology that was developed that Apple gadgets exploit. Windows has a huge market share, Nokia phones have a huge market share. All I agreed with was that the now fragmented digital camera market has revolutionised photography in less than 10 years.

well done apple grabbing most of the awards it shows they are one of the most sucsessful producers of amazing technology in the last 10 years... i hope 2010 will have even better technology. but i still think that the iphone is too expensive for normal people and that there are some good phones that are nearly as good . but it is still amazing.

I'm glad that the NIntendo Wii won entertainment gadget of the decade becausse me and my brother have rivarly and I think Wii is best when he thinks Xbox 360 is best. I proved him wrong!

The wii deserved to win entertainment - well done.

Peter Kinder20 December 2009

Sorry but this show was a bit of a farce really - isn't it supposed to be a "gadget of the year"? So why are websites such as facebook and youtube appearing on the lists? Stopped watching after the first 3 awards, used to be a fun show to watch but this episode was just terrible. Sorry guys - epic failure here!

emily fletcher20 December 2009

i think this is disgraceful !!! by far the internet was a mjor winner - and an iphone ? too over priced, too slow to work, and with a miserable camera. they still havent perfected the phone - and it should have a lot more things added to the phone other then 'internet.' firstly - you have to access it on a contract deal - which is a rip off for starters, the pricing is far too high, an i feel these phones are not practical, not thought out properly, and are slow in useage. bad call gadget team. bad call. the iphone has many promising values - but it is not accessable to all people it is for people with a high income, and want fancy things such as a measurement tool. the graphics are amazing - i will admit this but the controls being uneasy to use and fingers are built a certain size. i feel you have let me down for gadget of the year. and i will now have to remain untrusting in your oppinions. thank you for the good shows, up untill now gadget show. yours emily.

I think the candidates were far too specific, software and hardware should have had different categories as I do not class adobe photoshop on the same level as a digital camera as I use the similar GPL software "GIMP" more for digital creations than photo manipulations and many other people are the same. iPhone did not deserve to win, there are cheaper and better smart phones on the market. @emily fletcher: The internet wasn't invented in this decade I'm afraid, nor was the world wide web. Nintendo Wii did deserve to win solely for it's step in another direction for console gaming, gameplay over graphics, but now adays it's graphics that are holding back 3rd party publishers. I believe the folks behind the gadget shows are just touching on the tip of the gadget iceburg and simply don't know what makes a product good, now adays the general public buy for names not for a good gadget (iPhone, Blackbury), I was a Mac OS user before anyone knew what Apple was, I program for Windows I know all the insides for that OS and Linux is my main OS to use, research more deeply into what you're broadcasting and stop acting like your sponsors (The real gadget experts of Britain name PC World as one of the worst PC stores for their exploitation of customer's computer illiteracy). I know no-one's going to read this or care, I just want to vent some of my annoyances. And don't say I'm being a grumpy old man complaing about how technology has changed so much over the years as I'm 17 years old.

the last 2 years the iPhone's dominated the smart phone market but wind back to 2000 when everyone had or new someone who had the Nokia 3310. The 3310's a legendary mobile, as i'm sure iPhone will be looking back in years to come. Its a close call but the popularity & market dominance of the 3310 clinches it for me. :)

Hi, Just watching your show on Sky+ so forgive the late reply, I have no issue with the gadgets chosen or voting system. My comment is about the 'celebrities' who are giving their opinion on the gadgets...No one cares, they have nothing to say and make me recoil in horror as I see Melinda Messenger or Anthea Turner giving their opinion on highly specific gadget areas. My constructive advice would be to get some one who knows what they're talking about on, a group of professional photographers having a discussion would have been riveting and interesting, moreover they would have been some way relevant to the subject. Neither Melinda Messenger or Anthea Turner have absolutely no knowledge of photography what-so-ever and even if they did, quite frankly no-one cares... Please (even if they're unknown) use someone with some knowledge of the subject versus some no-hoper Z-list celebrity desperate celeb. Your show is one of the few shows that I watch on T.V. - I love it dearly and want to see it keep /improve the successful format. Thanks, Tom.

Furthermore, just watched the whole programme... Mobile Phone: Natasha Kaplinski Justin Lee Collins Keith Chegwin Christian O'Connell (who?) Jamie Cullum (ironically should have been in the music section) Robert Llewellyn Paddy McGuiness Linford Christie Joe Pasquali Music: Dominic Littlewood Zoe Ball Jamie Theakston Danny Wallace Linford Christie Keith Chegwin Joe Pasquale We don't need any of their opinions, replaced with some of the bands that have found fame, professional sound technicians and recording artists / record company employees, it would have been a much better choice...I mean c'mon: Keith Chegwin, scraping the barrel aren't we? Entertainment: Iwan Thomas Anthea Turner (Again) Melinda Messenger (Again) Ian Wright Writers from gaming magazines or Stuff etc would have contributed much more in my view. Furthermore comments from those that developed the tech used for the winner would have made a real difference to the look and feel of the show for the better.

polls were to specfic. I dontagree that the wii should win , it may of sold more but its of a poor quality, controls annoying, the graphics are vulgar , cames are crap and its not 'social' at all , no network like Xbl or Psn. Xbox is coming out with project natal soon , and that looks better than the wii by far. xbox has sky tv and facebook anyway and is the most social, parties friends profile etc. but on the other hand they are good in their own way-wii for family and casual, ps3 + 360 for gamers...... my verdict though is 360 FTW

PS2 entertained me the most in that decade. It had the best games ever ie GTA San Andreas and Pro Evolution Soccer 5.

DR Levene 30 January 2010

you constantly sung the praises of the iphone and while it is a great product you failed time and time again to mention its drawbacks. mainly the fact that it doesnt allow adobe flash player, this may seem minor to you but it stops this gadget being a true web browser. please in future how about trying to give a full and honest review rather than the normal pap supplied by apple. you let us down with reviews that arent full and frank
