I nominate Parallels virtualization software because it has allowed me to have two computers in one. I used to have to power up my Mac to work in ith my clients' files in Quark Xpress (yes, there's a Windows version, but the font compatibility headaches aren't worth it) and then return to my PC for Dreamweaver and Outlook. Now I use Parallels on my MacBook Pro to run Windows XP and Mac OS X. It just works with no problems. The MacBook Pro is also a great product. It costs more than Windows laptops, but features like the built-in camera, automatic back-lit keyboard, magnetic power connector (my last PC laptop was services three times because of power cord trips) and overall design are worth it to me.I'm not a PC hater -- I still have a PC laptop and desktop -- I just no longer have any reason to use them.

I'd like to nominate Songbird. Songbird is "a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up." Songbird is still in development, although I use it as my everyday music player/organizer. Stable and nightly builds are available.Songbird will organize you're music library and play all music file types. It will even import your iTunes library. You can also browse the net with Songbird and it is especially useful for browsing music sites and blogs, enabling instant detection and downloads of music files made available by the sites (Songbird developers encourage legal music sharing). Songbird is cross-platform, so Windows, Mac, and Linux users can all enjoy this great software.Songbirds developers have previously been involved with Flock, Mozilla, and Winamp and the experience and creativity shows in their work. There are far too many features to describe here, so I suggest you check out Songbird at http://www.songbirdnest.com.No, I don't work for Songbird, I simply find it to be one of the best new programs available today.

Again, although our story generally looks at products released from mid-year to mid-year (in this case 06-07), Harry McCracken said that this is not a hard & fast rule. If a product is really good and has slipped through the cracks in previous years, it could be considered. There is also nothing in the contest rules about when the suggested products were released. As long as the suggestion meets the criteria (in English, from a registered member with a valid email address, etc) then it counts as an entry toward the Apple TV.If there are any more questions about eligible entries, the rules, or the contest in general, let me know!

I would pick the new Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite! I've been running their product for about four years now. Some of the pop ups are kind of annoying but not close to the persistent annoyance of Nortons comparative software.

heres another oneiTunes 7

[ponyuk]

A quad-core Mac Pro with a pair of dual-core Woodcrest processors 3.0GHz for less than $4,000! Now that is amazing.http://www.apple.com/macpro/

Parallels virtualization software for the Intel Mac is truly a smooth piece of software engineering - awesome! ...Al

Video games and television have been a contributing factor to the problems of diabetes and obesity. The Nintendo Wii, with its wireless controller and motion detection, actually encourges physical activity over passivity. I hope this is the start of a new era.

[Keeter]

Nintendo Wii has to be one of the greatest products of the year. While I do not own one, I can judge its alluring qualities by how often I visit people who do own one. (Though I am running out of excuses to invite myself over).With the new and exciting ways of doing things, Nintendo has continued to push the envelope, not in graphics and power like its competitors, but with its innovation and pure entertainment qualities.

[DerComissar]

I would like to nominate EVGA's excellent 8800 GTS 640 MB Video Card. All of the EVGA 8800 series are smoking fast performers, and the GTS model is reasonably priced for the performance it produces. Of all the cards I have used over the years, which include most top-end Nvidia and ATI cards, this is by far the best bang for the buck. EVGA's warranty, customer service, and trade-up program are top-notch as well.:D

We use the HP 9200c digital sender at work and love it! The 9200c allows us to generate documents in hard copy form, allowing a payroll signature, notes, pen and ink changes etc... to be placed in a document feeder and e-mailed, in .pdf format, to any e-mail address you want. It can automatically send cc: copies to the sender, and it is FAST!!! We love it.

[jkennedy]

The Nintendo Wii gets my vote... while Sony and Microsoft battled it out doing the "same old thing", Nintendo re-invented the gaming console.... Its my favourite product.... AppleTV is also in the running.

[galenachef]

I really like Object Dock by Stardock. It lets you put your apps that you use all the time right in front of you and is very cool. You can make them smaller or bigger and change just about everything about it to fit your needs. Oh yeah, it also works flawlessly on my system. Go to Stardock.com and download Object Dock, you won't regret it. Don

I nominate the AppleTV. Not because the device itself is groundbreaking, but because it is going to be the first device to simply and effectively create the digital living room that has been tried by most pc/software makers.

[/quote]NeXTStep - 1986 edited heavily by Kellie to reflect correct contest rules[/quote]That's the first one I choose. With out NeXT creating NeXTStep(Now OS X) and OpenStep(now Cocoa), Apple would dead. If Apple didn't buy NeXT and Steve Didn't come back with this fantastic OS, there would be no iPods, no Apple TVs, no iPhones. If your into film then think of the world with out Final Cut Studio(I know I can't). NeXTStep was an incredible design and is still the main foundational Design of OS X after 17 years. You know Steve Balmer once said Microsoft was 4 years behind, but they were actually 15.

[jfalken]

I would nominate the Treo 700W, it's so nice not to have to carry both a phone and a PDA.
