Rachel, you write:

Well, actually the name of the award isn't "_N_e_w_ Product of the Year", is it?
If a reader's honest opinion is that all the products which first shipped this year are inferior to his favourite from last year,
or the year before that, then why wouldn't his preference be a perfectly valid candidate for "_Product_ of the Year (still!)" ?
Sincerely,
Christian R. Conrad
