Ultimate Products Finalists - 2007
http://www.eetimes-ace.com/finalists.htm

Each quarter, eeProductCenter editors select the top 10 products in seven technology areas written up on the Web site and submit these via electronic balloting to register users to place in rank order. At least 1000 unique responses/votes are required each quarter. The top two ranking products in each category every quarter automatically become EE Times ACE Awards Ultimate Products of the Year Finalists. The Winners are selected by more than 3500 unique votes from a pool of frequent registered users who have voted over the past year for Ultimate Products. EE Times ACE Awards Ultimate Products of the Year Winners will be announced at the gala event on April 3, 2007.
