Sony has managed to fight off competition from HTC and Apple at this year's T3 Awards, Sony PS4 winning 'Gadget of the Year' and the 'Gaming Award' -- while the original Sony PlayStation became the first gadget to be admitted into the 'T3 Hall of Fame'.
The next-generation PlayStation 4 fought off both the Xbox One and the iPhone 5S to be given T3's top award.
HTC managed to bag a double of its own as its HTC One M8 was crowned 'Smartphone of the Year', once again beating Samsung's Galaxy S5 and the iPhone 5s (the more recent iPhone was not eligible this time around).
Winning the 'Design Innovation Award' (sponsored by The Huffington Post UK, ahem) was Apple's stunning Mac Pro. The Mac Pro fought off futuristic rivals such as Audi's Digital Cockpit and Sony's Project Morpheus for PlayStation 4.
Other highlights at the Covent Garden awards ceremony included renowned British inventor and entrepreneur James Dyson winning the 'Tech Legend' award.
Speaking at the awards ceremony Dyson said, 'What an honour. My focus is on making new technology and exciting machines. But the best ideas are not all mine, it is Dyson's 2,000 sparky engineers and scientists who should take the credit. Working with them and some of the best universities in the world, we are developing new technologies which make things work better.'
The Jawbone UP24 managed to secure a big victory winning 'Fitness Wearable of the Year', while the small but mighty Sonos Play 1 just missed the top spot as Denon's Cocoon Stream won the 'Sound Award'.
Finally in one of the newest categories BMW's impressive i8 hybrid supercar won 'Car of the Year' fighting off rivals such as the Tesla Model S and the new Audi TT.
