I agree the iPhone is simply sensational, while the Apple Bluetooth headset is a great example of minimal and functional design. However, if you've ever used the headset for even a few minutes in a loud or slightly windy environment, it's simply unusable. A Bluetooth headset without noise cancellation or wind guard is useless, no matter how pretty or comfortable a headset looks or feel.

CeBIT awards presenters chose the iPhone, due to being void of resounding defects, and for being "simply sensational", while the Bluetooth headset exemplified simplicity and aesthetics, coupled with functionality.

Out of 2771 products shown at the conference, 821 of them were considered for the awards, according to SetteB.IT. Apple's iPod nano, Classic, and Touch were among the winners, as well as the iPhone and Bluetooth headset. The standard USB and Bluetooth keyboards, and Apple's aluminum iMac also won accolades.
