Imagine having a newspaper column published precisely on the last day of the year. What a chance to step back, look ahead, sum it all up. Or else I could just trot out my usual end-of-year silliness, better known as the Pogie Awards."</em></p><p><span><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1262218164.usr105634.jpg" /></span></p><p><span>The "Find My iPhone" feature from MobileMe is one of the award winners, as is an iPhone app called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itype2go-pro/id343308445?mt=8" target="_blank">ITYPE2GO</a> (gives you camera view while walking and texting so you don't run into anything), but the rest were pretty much a broad spectrum of things that he thought were winners. My favorite? The MiFi, and since I do own one I can attest to its much deserved spot in the winner's circle. </span></p>
