The iPhone and HTC devices were the most discussed and most popular of 2007

The news slows down during the holiday season before the big rush of CES and it gives us some time to reflect on the past year. I'll be posting a year in review for mobile devices shortly, but wanted to first post lists of the most popular and most discussed posts here on the ZDNet Mobile Gadgeteer blog. As you can see, the iPhone was the subject of 4 of the top 10 most discussed posts with HTC devices also capturing 4 of the most popular posts. The other two covered Windows Mobile 6 and Google Calendar syncing. It was interesting to see that one of my older posts from 2006 (HTC TyTN review) was in the top 10 for 2007. I believe that shows how popular this high-powered touch-screen Windows Mobile device was in 2006 and 2007.

MOST POPULAR

1. "The iPhone will cost me at least US$2245, how about you?"
2. Is the HTC Advantage really the most powerful mobile office?
3. Why does the iPhone get so much hype when more capable devices are already available?
4. What kind of choices do you have if you don't want an iPhone?
5. 6 iPhone questions I need AT&T and/or Apple to answer
6. Microsoft reveals Window Mobile 6 and we have all the details
7. TyTN: Smartphone of your dreams?
8. Sync your mobile devices to Google Calendar
9. Hands-on video and first impressions of the HTC Touch
10. First impressions of the AT&T Tilt

As far as the most discussed posts go, the iPhone generated a lot of conversation with 7 of the top 10 posts, including the top 6 most discussed. Spots 7, 8, and 9 were blog posts on HTC Windows Mobile devices. I post quite a bit about S60 devices, but think the lack of availability in the United States of these amazing mobile devices keeps people from experiencing them.
