LONDON, October 10/PRNewswire/ --

- Gadget Bible Awards Prizes to Apple, Nintendo, TomTom and More at the
British Technology 'Oscars'

Last night, at the most anticipated awards ceremony in the technology
calendar, the teams from T3 magazine and T3.com celebrated the great and good
of technology 2008. With the biggest names in the industry battling it out
for titles including Gadget You Can't Live Without, Gaming Gadget and the
much-coveted Gadget of the Year, there was drama, suspense, and even
surprise... So, who were the winners of the 2nd Annual Garmin T3 Gadget
Awards 2008?

So closely guarded that even the editorial staff didn't know
the winners until the night, T3 relied on more than 54,000 votes from their
loyal readers in order to pinpoint winners in 11 of the 16 awards categories.
Apple had the most successful evening, scooping four prizes - including
Gadget of the Year, awarded to the Apple iPod Touch - while Activision's
Guitar Hero took the title for Toy of the Year. Car manufacturer Honda was
perhaps a surprising winner in the Green Gadget category, thanks to the
innovative Civic Hybrid, while the TomTom GO930 was named Gadget You Can't
Live Without.

'The Garmin T3 Gadget Awards 2008 really do reflect the cream
of this year's tech,' says Michael Brook, Editor of T3 magazine. 'And this is
thanks to the T3 readers who voted in their thousands to sort the men from
the boys. It's been important for us to have our readers involved in so many
of the categories, since they are the ones using these products day in, day
out, and can tell the hottest kit from the hype. The competition has been so
strong this year, and some of the categories were just too close to call -
we're hoping that the gadgets will be as fantastic in 2009, for the third T3
Gadget Awards.'
