“We love gadgets and the technologies that make
the gadgets go. We are geeks to the core, but we also talk electronics in a way
that our grandparents can understand. We take everything into consideration
from design, to user interface to practicality, pricing and competition.We make
lists to help you decide what gadgets you need (or don’t). And we deliver live
coverage at conferences like CES, E3, Mobile World Congress, CTIA, DEMO and
GDC, so our readers can feel like they are there with us. If it’s cool, we are
covering it. And our hard work is paying off: We are a Webby Award Honoree,
have been nominees at the Bloggies and voted in the top 100 blogs for PC
Magazine and the Hot Site on USA Today. But most importantly, we are reaching
out to electronics lovers around the world. Currently Ubergizmo is distributed
in 3 languages and read in 212 countries. Check us out!
