Welcome to the Garmin T3 Gadget Awards 2008

The Judges say: Think music. Think iPod. And now, more specifically, think iPod Touch. Roundly trouncing all comers in our music gadget category, the Touch, now in silver trim, is the best music and video player ever . It’s also a great little browser, emailer and mapper, thanks to Wi-Fi… Read our review

The Judges say: Forget fiddly compacts; SLRs are where it’s at these days and according to your good selves, Nikon’s D60 is the finest consumer SLR on the market today. It’s all in that blend of user-friendliness, decent price and pro-quality snappage. Whether beginner or expert, you need to feel the quality of its 10.2MP images. Go on: feel it. Read our review

The Judges say: As 1,560kg lumps of metal, plastics and futuristic fibres go, this is unchallenged in the desirability stakes. Possibly the only car in existence to look good in white. Read our review

The Judges say: So monumental was the demand when it launched, the Beeb’s on-demand miracle almost forced the internet to its knees. Currently spattering itself all over computers, Wiis, Virgin Media boxes, iPhones, the Nokia N96 and more, world domination looks assured. Read our review

The Judges say: Gaming + exercise = gamercise, which is a) the definition of Wii Fit and b) a hideous travesty of the English language. Burning calories by stealth and wearing a tray-shaped groove in UK carpets, Wii Fit is the new drug of a nation. Television will feel put out. Read our review

The Judges say: Bring out your inner Hendrix, Clapton, Hetfield or Ridgely with this guitar-toting music-’em-up classic. If only we’d had the good sense to spend our time at university playing this instead of studying words and suchlike, we’d be rock gods by now. Sigh. Read our review

The Judges say: The 3Gesus phone may have a smattering of oft-noted faults, but it’s generated more column inches than something that comes free with a contract — as long as it’s a sufficiently premium contract, ay any rate — has any right to. Splendid show, Apple chaps. Read our review

The Judges say: A masterclass in notebook design. So covetable, you’d sell your mother or, indeed, your previous laptop to own it. We praise the day that Jonathan Ive picked up a pen and wrote the words “Very thin laptop” in the middle of a big sheet of graph paper. Read our review

The Judges say: The king of the high street — in its currys.digital guise — is now king of the web according to you, the T readers. First for service and boasting a massive range, Dixons shows online retailers the way.

The Judges say: If, like us, you’d sooner be seen buying lingerie from a cross-dressing Michael Winner than asking directions from a passer-by, you can keep your manly veneer intact by asking the 930 instead. Yes, show us the way to go home, TomTom… Read our review
