The Best Products of 2008
In a year when the economy isn't going to win "the best of" anything, it's more important than ever to know where to spend your dough.
It's that time of year--the time when we in the media tend to sum up everything in the world that happened within the year in endless amounts of "Best of..." and "Worst of..." lists. Personally I love those lists--best dressed, worst behaved, best movies, worst slang words, and so on. And it's bonus fun to disagree with them.
To put 2008 into perspective in the tech world, PCMag editors and analysts put our heads together to let you know which of the year's products--including desktops, laptops, cameras, MP3 players, phones, and much more--we consider to be tops: We considered design, price, value, and overall coolness. Head on over and tell us what we left out!
Carol Mangis is the senior editor and producer for PC Magazine satellite sites Gearlog, AppScout, and TechnoRide. She recruits, trains, and shepherds staff and freelance writers who post on the sites and is a regular commentator on our weekly podcast, Gearlog Radio. Occasionally, she even posts something herself. She is particularly interested in digital photography, product design, serious games, toasters, emerging tech, Nintendo, and gadgets that light up...ooh!
Proud to call herself a nerd, Molly K. McLaughlin (A.K.A. Blogging Molly) is a lover of all shiny gadgets, most notably those of the Bluetooth ilk. But she has dominated coverage of duck technology and gadgetry. When she's not blogging, she's an Associate Editor, Reviews for PC Magazine, regularly vomiting out news, review roundups and other works of genius-including Gearlog's famous haiku reviews. She recently earned an M.S. degree from Polytechnic University (the geekiest U in NYC) in Journalism and Technical Writing. Before that she went to NYU for Latin American Studies. (Guess which degree she uses the most today?) Her dream is to someday invent a USB mash-up micro-blogging robot duck with built-in social networking features and Bluetooth capabilities.
