The beat goes on & on & on & on & on & on!!!!!!!
Don’t you just love it?
In the meantime, the crap encrusted Zune & all its FUD meisters are all quietly licking their wounds, hoping for a crumb in the form of a function disaster from the iphone!
I tell ya!
I’m all happy about the awards for Apple and all, but I wonder about a site that uses “click here” links:

(and so on)
I mean, its a design award site, FGS! They should know better. (And yeah, MDN, you’re frequently guilty of the same design offense. But we forgive you.)
MW: values What’s happened to this country’s design values?
My point would be better served if I could type the dang tags right. Sheesh.
At the risk of being pedantic, there’s a difference between ‘advertising’ and ‘design’.
It’s really laughable because there’s almost no competition. The only non-Apple device I can recall that has caused any major stir is the Wii. I would still like to see Apple do better on the games front as it is the only caveat remaining, where despite the switch to intel most game sites agree that PCs are still king of gamers if for no other reason than graphics card customizability.

You didn’t happen to read what the story was about, did you?
Anyone notice that someone else won an award for a toy called Super Bastard? What sort of awards are these?
The true “Oscars” of advertising are generally considered the Clio awards (http://www.clioawards.com) which also honor advertising and design in a number of different formats. The awards from the One Club are NOT the Clio awards. Nice for Apple to have won, but not to be confused with the Clios.
Sounds like Aldebaran’s salary is being paid by the Clio’s
