Hot products 1999

Thousands of new electronic products come along every year. All, no doubt, are useful, and many are innovative, yet only a relative few generate real excitement. At EDN, we've noted that our readers respond in a really big way to about a hundred new products each year. Thus was born, in 1993, a year-end feature, the EDN Hot 100 Products. This year, we present our seventh annual installment.

By Staff -- EDN, 12/9/1999

EDN's Hot 100 Products of 1999 are exciting, and it's an honor for a product to make the list. Our purpose, though, isn't to bestow honors but to report on the year's accomplishments and show the current state of the art. In our fast-moving world, products that made last year's Hot 100 already look quaint, and this year's products will probably look dated a year from now. Right now, though, the Hot 100 Products of 1999 show you where we're going. So don't lose your way. Take a look.
