New York Times product reviewer David Pogue- who sometimes is like a one-man Engadget over there- is out with his annual "Buzz of 2006" round-up of best and worst technology of the year.
In the technology "bright spot of the year," David ranks the BlackBerry Pearl and Treo 700p in a tie for the top spot in the smartphone category.
To give you an overall idea of the other devices that keep the Pearl and Treo company, they are the CanonSD800 IS in the small camera category; the Nikon D80 in the Digital SLR category; the CanonHV10 in the Camcorder category and the iPod Nano in the Music player classification.
