Last Thursday in San Francisco, the gadget blog, Ubergizmo held their third annual awards ceremony to highlight a set of gadgets and technology that have stood out from the rest. The editors of Ubergizmo, Hubert Nguyen & Eliane Fiolet, hosted a packed room of people getting to mingle and check out some cool products from Intel, Dolby and then hearing what the top 10 gadgets of 2009 were. But these weren’t just any gadgets…Ubergizmo highlighted the ones that everyone would want to get – all with price tags of under $500. Just in time for holiday shopping!
