Music Gadget of the Year
Last year, Sony trumped Apple with its superb X-Series Walkman. What will the contenders have to do this year to win?

Retailer of the Year

The victor in this category will be the media service that best enhances the consumption and distribution of media content online for consumers.

TV of the Year
The cream of the TV crop that T3 has reviewed since the last shortlist was announced.

Tech Brand of the Year
2009 was Google's, capped by winning this category at last year's Awards. It launched its own phone and a raft of exciting new services.
