Every year the British magazine Tomorrow's Technology Today announce a top of the best gadgets of the previous year. This year, Apple's iDevices were nominated 15 times in all top categories, but Google's gadgets collected no less than 18 nominations. We are talking here about the iPad and iPhone 4 together with their iOS versus the "horde" of Android terminals from various manufacturers together with the Android OS operating system.
Out of the 15 nominations for Apple products, iPad 2 collects 6 and is nominated for the title of the best gadget of the year. Of course, the iPhone 4 is nominated for the phone of the year category, which was won by an HTC terminal last year, but this year things could be different. The top made by the British magazine is informally compared with the event dedicated to the awarding of the Oscar awards, and if you are interested in voting for a product, then I recommend you to access this site where you can leave a vote for each category separately.
