Filed under: iPhone
No big surprise here, but TIME magazine has anointed the iPhone as their best gadget of 2007. Their blurb seems just about exactly right: the "iPhone changed the way we think about how mobile media devices should look, feel and perform." And their only complaint? Again, no surprise, it's AT&T. I suspect this is only the beginning of the iPhone's reign across the top of best of 2007 lists.

Didn't they do that like a month and a half ago? Or was that some other tabloid?

Time called it "Invention of the Year."
I suppose when it's already "best thing invented this year," it also falls into "best in its field."

It could have been the best invention but not the best gadget... although that would have been a tough sell.

my money was on the meizu m8 as gadget of the year of the future.

it may very well be the best gadget of the year, but (and I say this as a lover of apple) apple is not very bright for not bringing it to canada

For me, anyway, ATT is the best carrier yet. Way better than T-Mobile.
