Apple cleans up at Stuff Cool List Awards

26 OCT 2007

5 – Nintendo Wii
The Big N’s turn-around from niche gaming granddad to inspired gaming mastermind is largely thanks to its Wii gaming console. Its ingenious wireless remote control detects motion, making games easy and intuitive. Even our mums love it. An effortless number five position.

4 – Sony Vaio UX1
All over the number four spot like a flannel was Sony’s UMPC (that’s Ultra Mobile PC, everyone). The Vaio UX1 squeezes a Vista-packing PC into a device only slightly larger than your hand. Think that’s impressive? It also crams in full wireless support, a touch screen, a full qwerty keyboard and a speedy 32GB flash memory hard drive.

3 – Tonium Pacemaker
One of the best MP3 DJing gadgets we’ve seen in a long time, the Tonium Pacemaker easily nabbed the number three spot. You can mix your own digital sounds with its classy touch controls, 120GB hard disk and its pro-like pitch bending.

2 – Leica M8
Sitting in the number two spot was the Leica M8 digital camera. Its retro-chic stylings hide a 10 megapixel image sensor, legendary Leica optics and full manual control. Easily one of the nicest snappers we’ve stuck in a pocket.

1 – Apple iPhone
Apple’s iPhone took top place in Stuff’s Cool List 2007. The mobile to end all mobiles pipped all the other top-name entries to earn the planet’s biggest gadget accolade.
The touchscreen device redefined how humans interact with their phones as well as offering almost every feature no self-respecting mobile should be without.  How could we resist?
