Cue fanfare for the results of the first
European Gadget of the Year award. In case you missed our previous post it is like EuroVision for gadget lovers, except of course without Terrry Wogan's irritating commentary or strangely-clad Scandi metal bands.
We teamed up with the top European gadgets sites, namely
Xataka (Spain),
Daily Gadget (Germany),
Journal du Geek (France) and
GamesBlog (Italy) to ask our combined readership exactly what is the continent's favourite gizmo?
And the winner is, you guessed it, the
Nintendo Wii games console which attacted over half of the votes cast in every country apart from Italy. Second place went to the
Apple iPod nano (which oddly enough polled better in Italy than anywhere else), while
Nokia's N Series phones, which are vey big in Spain, finished in third.
Thanks to all who voted and to everyone who blogged about the contest.
Fantastic site keep up the good work
Thats great news, congratulations! Well deserved too ;)
