ComputerWorld crowns iPhone as 2nd most innovative product of 2007

Oh, and ComputerWorld, how about innovating a little bit with your website and not splitting up a relatively short article into 5 separate webpages?
...says the site that does things like make links of product names (e.g. recent Saft article) lead to search results on your own site instead of the actual frigging product site.

And the average person is probably thinking: "WTF is Google gears?".

I'd nominate iPhone as the tech gadget that made the most buzz in 2007. Its specs and price are nothing too revolutionary, just well packaged and marketed flashy gizmos. Best marketing stunt of 2007? You bet. They sold old tech at a rather costly price, what else do you want? Anyway, with other cellphone manufacturing companies selling gazillions of handsets and dozens of models every year iPhone is already lost in the news and no one cares or writes about it anymore. A v.2 will come out (maybe next summer?) but I expect a less exciting welcome.

Google Gears #1? Google must pay them Adwords advertising.

While Gears is pretty cool it's FAR from the impact and technology of the iPhone. The iPhone shook up the whole mobile industry in the same way the iPod did the mp3 industry and iTunes the music industry.

Gears is a neat toy and that's it. It's barely in use, even by Google. It's hardly even known outside of the ultra geek world.

What a stupid choice. These writers are all shills.

I assume that they get paid each time an AD loads, not just when it is clicked on. You know how popular these "end of the year" lists are, so that = a lot of ADs loading.
