“Drop Dead Gorgeous Award”
Dang. I was up for that.
Have other manufacturers just given up on creativity and innovation? …and leaving Apple to be their free R&D;/design/marketing department?
” . . . given up on creativity and innovation?”
Especially when they make up marketing words like creanovation.
“Drop Dead Gorgeous Award” – should have gone to Jamie Pressly. Hmmmmmm
Yawn. We all know Apple products are the best.
Move along….nothing more to see here.
Dextroamphetamine, you get my vote for “Drop Dead Gorgeous”. Every time you say “(2S)-1-phenylpropan-2-amine” I get butterflies!
Seriously though, is anyone surprised that Apple won these awards? Apparently not, judging by the lighter than usual number of comments.
MW: issue. Yeah, I have issues.
It almost sounds like these award categories were created for the specific purpose of singling out Apple products. The article didn’t mention past recipients or any other history of the awards. Did they use Apple to gain press or do these awards have a long history. I’m unfamiliar with them

I understand your healthy skepticism, but not your unwillingness to do 20 seconds of Googling:
“T3 magazine is a UK-based technology magazine which specialises in gadgets, gizmos, and other technology.
The magazine is wildly popular [citation needed], is available in most countries in the world, and has syndicated/localised versions in over 20 countries.” – Wikipedia
man, you know apple struck gold when they give a “drop-dead gorgeous” award to a design that’s basically been around since 2003. this doesn’t mean it’s not true – the aluminum g4 and MBP are absolutely the nicest laptops i’ve ever had the pleasure of using – i honestly think they have the best keyboard, desktop or laptop, i’ve ever used.
mw: close. as in, nothing even comes CLOSE to a MBP or PB G4.

C1 missed out ON THE DROP DEAD Gorgious category
T3=Apple fanboys?
Apple has alway been the top industrial design house in the world when it comes to computers and gadgets.
If your product squirts anything though, well you might want to thing twice about marketing that feature.
@Nevin
I followed the link to the website’s original article. I saw no reference to T3 Awards methodology or history, or even a description of other categories and winners. (I didn’t scour the whole site). That’s why I asked the question. Not so much skepticism as feedback on nature of this group to put the awards into perspective.
Err not sure, but some of the other winners are well, to be nice freakin’ sucky!
FireBox.com as “BEST RETAILER”?
The LG combo HD DVD player is the “MOST INNOVATIVE GADGET OF THE YEAR”… give me a break
RIM Blackberry is the “MOST ADDICTIVE GADGET” yeah only ’cause the corporate IT folks don’t want to support the iPhone.. and since when is an corporate slavery and addiction?
But the real dumb n dumber one is calling the Sony PS3 the “GADGET OF THE YEAR 2007” when it didn’t win its gaming category and they claim it wins the 2007 award because of “just over the horizon, a stream of top add-ons, such as the TV tuner” when they are not even released.
These awards are a sham forget the T3 awards they are as lame as the bad lead actor in T3
Well you mac lemmings, they just have not seen the all new Zune or caught a glimpse of the magnificent Windows OS Vista.
Your problem. Our products.® ™
@blucaso,
He never went anywhere. Just posting under different names. And, no, it’s not me.

The problem with T3 and Stuff, to name just two of geek-porn magazines, is the fact that – for all their recognition of Apple’s supremacy on the battlefield – they can’t stop hyping products which are dripping with mediocrity when they initially ship.
T3’s “giant tests” regularly boost the profile of products which – and I speak as someone who now sells this stuff for a living – shouldn’t get shelf space in any store, because a) in reality, it never works as promised or b) it might work, but it is only usable by someone with a degree in rocket-science or c) it works, but – because of appalling product quality – only for one day more than the one-year warranty period.
It’s interesting that T3’s readers – who actually vote for these awards – rate product quality, design and a holistic view of usability above many of T3’s ‘journalists’ (please tell me where I can get a job writing about toys for overgrown boys) who, in many cases, may have forgotten what it was like to spend their own money on technology that has to play a role in “real life” or are only to willing to pander to their advertisers.
That said, this month’s issues of Stuff and T3 are almost gushy about the new iPods, especially the Touch.
So, no more NSFY then?
