We matched them up and you voted. The results for the first round of the World's Greatest Gadget Tournament are coming in and some of the results may shock you. Others probably won't.
- Right now the iPod is (surprise surprise) OWNING the iPhone by a 3 to 1 margin.
- Another victory for portable music: The Sony Walkman wins out over the potent percolations of Mr. Coffee by several thousand votes.
- Dustbuster vs Fuzzbuster? Clearly, folks would rather clean air ducts than duck the police. (We can't blame you — enduring horrible allergies is worse than being in jail.)
- The closest races? Sony HandyCam and IBM ThinkPad are neck and neck, separated by only a handful of votes. Same deal with the Apple II and the Apple Mac Plus. Both of these races are still too close to call right now. We'll let you know when there's a clear winner.
- The most lopsided victory? Gameboy vs Interplak. What would you rather have? Hour upon hour of monochrome mobile gaming bliss or pearly white choppers? Only 314 people chose oral hygiene over portable Nintendo glory.
If we can learn anything from this it's that you, good readers, are a neat and tidy lot who love music, agonize over picking a computer, and hate going to the dentist. We'll have more results from Round 2 of the tournament the second they become available.
