The biggest names in technology battle it out to see what technologies have a place in the British public's hearts and minds. Nintendo, Sony, Apple and Microsoft have a large amount of nominations across the categories. I for one we be interested to see how the British Public votes.

My predictions are:
Wii will take home Best Gaming Technology
Wii will take home Best Entertainment Technology
DS will take home Best Kids Technology
(blind fanboyism? Nope. I'm putting my feelings aside and using my best judgement :P)

My general thoughts are that Nintendo and Apple will clean up. Maybe we should start a prediction thread in the forums...maybe it's better to post them as comments here

Voting on the shortlist is taking place now. The winners will be announced in October 2008.
