We’ve seen our fair share of cool things this year – that’s 2007, in case you were confused. And, we’re sure David Pogue, the New York Times‘ tech columnist, has gotten hit mitts on more gadgets than we could ever hope to grope. With the year winding down Mr. Pogue has posted up a list of 2007’s most important features – “Pogies,” as he likes to call them.
So, what gadget-feature does David Pogue consider the “best” of 2007? Why, the iPhone’s signature Visual Voicemail feature, of course. Wading through voicemails by caller and playing individual messages at a whim is definitely a trick feature – it’s helped us avoid unwanted voicemails more than we can remember. Visual Voicemail puts the power of the voicemail inbox in the palm (NSDQ: PALM) of your hand, and in front of your eyes, as the case may be.
The iPhone just keeps racking up the consumer awards, and we have to agree that it’s the snazziest and most innovative gadgets of the year. It may not be the most feature-packed, but in terms of industry-changing, the iPhone is where it’s at.
What’s your favorite feature of 2007?

This is the best feature of 2007? why? Just because its on iPhone right?
But I have got visual voicemail on my brand new Softbank 911T
You know SpinVox can do this on ANY cellphone right?
Seems somewhat passe? From looking around at my friends/colleagues voicemail useage is very low — text messaging on the other hand is rampant.
Maybe a european thing, but certainly don’t see “visual voicemail” as a killer here..
Oh yes, Nigel, if there’s something you can’t understand it simply must be European….
