Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and children of all ages. It's time to announce the winners of the 2011 Android Central Readers Choice Awards.
These are the awards in which you, the reader, picked the winners. They're not necessarily our favorites (as you've already seen). But with thousands of you voting over the course of a couple weeks, we now know your favorites.
It's been a hell of a year, to say the least. With what felt like dozens of smartphones and tablets announced at CES in January 2011, to more a month later at Mobile World Congress, and more still at CTIA in March -- plus new releases weekly, plus a lot of stuff that doesn't even deserve mention -- we've seen dozens and dozens of new devices. And more apps than we can count.
2011 brought an avalanche of hardware running Android -- some if it good, some of it not so good. We try to love everything Android-related around these parts (really, we do), but some things just stand out more than others. We asked you guys what your picks were in all the categories, but of course we had to chime in ourselves here. We've fondled just about every Android device out there, and after a bit of discussion amongst ourselves, we've decided on just what ones rise to the top.
Remember -- our choices don't have to mimic yours. That's the great thing about Android, there is a ton of choice for just about any taste. Anyhoo, see our winners (and losers) after the break.
And coming up on Thursday -- the Readers' Choice Awards!
