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...
