LG takes most wins at Shiny Awards 2007

Shiny Awards. The name may not sound like much to you, but it’s the Oscars of the techie gadget world. Hosted by none other than Shiny Media, the most recent award ceremonies was held at London, the night of February 21, 2007.

LG, with their Chocolate mobile phone, Roberto Cavalli LG phone and the BH100, bagged two wins, a runner up spot, and the lovely and equally stunning Colleen over there.

Of the most notable, and laughable, highlights during the night was the wicked ASBO Gadget of the Year award. ASBO, short for Anti-Social Behavior Order, describes the gadget that could be best used to annoy people around you. But wait, who needs a gadget to annoy people?

Samsung – those poor chaps – won that award fair and square with their K5 MP3 player. It won not because of its small profile and even smaller speakers, but because the “itsy bitsy” speakers are actually very powerful – almost too powerful.

We also noted that Apple’s iPod Nano and (*gasp!* lo and behold!) Nintendo’s Wii, bagged their own prizes from this prestigious event. And look, even Bethesda Softwork’s The Elder Scrolls Legends IV: Oblivion and Nintendo’s Wii Sports gets to bring home something for Mommy.
