ElectronicsWeekly.com Blog Awards 08 - The Winners

Electronics Weekly has completed its search for the best electronics blogs, and here are the results of the first ever Electronics Blog Awards (which exclude our own blogs, please note). Congratulations to the worthy winners!

There were three categories (Electronics Hardware, Electronic Gadgets and Mobile Comms) and having boiled down the list of contenders into a short list, a popular vote was completed. The aim was to provide electronics professionals with a comprehensive list of the most popular and useful writers on the web, so you could do worse than bookmark these sites...
