Engadget Awards results comparison

The results have been announced. The winners actually get real weighty awards! I've bolded in black the ones I agreed with as per my previous post. I admit that I didn't thoroughly research the choices, but I'm italicizing the ones where I could be having a change of heart. Of the four device categories where the editors and readers agree, I only agreed with one—the PSP.
