Without any powerful competitor, Apple won the first place with its fantastic iPOD series. Goggle follows as a runner-up. It seems all innovative things always come from hardware, the most important thing changes our real life. Yesterday I found a software website provides downloads of electric maps only for iPod (I think it should be nano or above). In other words, it is hardware which eventually breaks the gap between human and high-tech. Some wonderful hardwares make it possible to integrate the reality and virtual reality seamless if there are enough software content providers. Another example is Sony PSP or Microsoft Xbox, whose creators are ranked as 13rd and 5th, respectively. Two America-based companies got good marks, IBM 10th, Intel 17th.
