Why oh why the Portable Media Center wasn't nominated for gadget of the year (or the Rio Carbon), but I'm excited to see that Media Center PC's get their own category in this year's 2004 Engadget Award Nominations.  I have to say, I'm really impressed at how Engadget has so quickly become a reputable source of gadgetry and such as well-known site, arguably the most popular gadget news site on the Web.  I visit 3-4 times a day and it's an addiction.  Happy New Year folks at Engadget and thanks for a great year. Be sure to visit and vote.
