XM Wins Popular Science's "Best of What's New 2006" Awards
XM Satellite Radio has scored big in Popular Science's Best of Whats New 2006 Awards.
First the Pioneer Inno, which won in the Gadgets category, alongside the Sony Reader PRS-500 which won the Grand Award for the category. Then the XM Mini-Tuner won in the Home Entertainment category, alongside Grand Award winner the Nintendo Wii.
The Innovator of the Year award was given to... a nail (though, the Bostich HurriQuake nail is one badass nail).
The annual Best of What's New awards recognize breakthrough products and technologies that represent a significant leap forward in categories ranging from Auto Tech to Personal Health. A display of the Best of What's New is available to passers by in NYC's Grand Central Terminal. Watch a video highlighting the Grand Central display here (RealPlayer).

Comments
XM should promote the Inno at the box stores with this award. Of course, the question from fanboys on both sides (including me) is whether the Stiletto was in the running, or whether it was introduced too late to be considered. Any know when the gadget release cut-off was?
