Tech Awards 2011 - 69 Awards Given!

To recap, this year's HWM+HardwareZone.com Tech Awards was held on 23rd February, and it served to honor the best in tech products and services that were introduced between December 2009 and November 2010. This time round, we paid tribute to 39 companies across 69 categories. A grand total of 32 Editor’s Choice and 37 Reader’s Choice awards were handed out in categories ranging from computers, consumer electronics, communications and digital entertainment.

Last week, we posted the results of the Reader's Choice polls. Do check them out if you've not already done so, and see if any of your favorite brands won.

Needless to say, it took us much time and energy to evaluate so many products. For years, readers have been requesting us to share a bit more on what exactly goes on behind the closed doors of our labs.
