Hardware:
iPod nano, for sure!

Software:
1. iPhoto 5: great editing, nice calendar view, amazing new slideshow transitions, books nicer than ever, really improved!
2. iTunes 5: Search bar is very nice, new look very clean and elegant, folders are useful.

Just remember folks that products have to be released between Nov. 1, 2004 and Nov. 1, 2005 to be eligible. The 30" cinema display was introduced in June 2004, for example.

Re: Editors' Notes Weblog: And the nominees are....
Perhaps its the recent release or the fact that I'm using it so much more fully than before but Backup 3 is tremendous. I don't know that you can consider FontExplorer X from Linotype a "release" as it's only reached RC status but that's an app any serious font nut must have.

So, for software: Backup 3 and FontExplorer X

For hardware? I like my Mighty Mouse. I like it a lot. If nothing else it should get a nod just for the "holy underwear Batman, they made a multi-button mouse" effect.

For the most part, though; I think many apps and hardware have seemed more evolutionary than revolutionary. For that sake, I can't think of many new apps or hardware that I've just "had to have."

- Tiger

Hardware:
- iPod Nano
- Any Mac with a built-in dual-layer superdrive.
