The Mac Observer will once again host its annual Editors Choice Awards at Macworld Expo in January. Our editors will choose what they deem to be the best-of-the-best new Mac, iPod and iPhone-related products released between Macworld Expo last year and the start of the Expo this year.

Award winners will receive notification during the expo, and will also be highlighted in our Editors Choice Awards round up. Our 2008 awards included products from Ambrosia Software, Apple, El Gato, nova media, The Omni Group, Eye-Fi, AudioEngine, Data Robotics, and SmileOnMyMac, Adobe, and FileMaker.

"I am so pleased with how well our TMO 2008 Editors Choice awards were received and weire very excited about 2009," said TMO President and Mac Geek Gab co-host Dave Hamilton. "I look forward to working with the staff to evaluate all these great products at Macworld Expo and share them with all of our readers and listeners."

Exhibitors interested in including their product in the running for a possible Editors Choice Award need to make their submission by December 30, 2008. TMO will honor confidentiality agreements for products that wonit be announced prior to Macworld Expo 2009.

Product submissions need to be directed to ec2009@macobserver.com.
