Move over XBox; step aside TomTom, it’s my iPhone I want. 2,500 customers from the Gadget Helpline were asked which toy made them happy which they were more likely to marry - the iPhone was a top three choice.

Coming in after the Nintendo Wii and your trusted iPod, the 3G iPhone placed third. The Wii was declared the winner proving that there is still that “huge appeal in the concept of sharing time and space with friends and loved ones.” Does this mean that is the iPhone could take the lead if the brilliance of downloadable apps continues? Or is actual physical interaction with humans just so 2001?

The Gadget Helpline is the latest in a series of services offering to explain modern-day technology.
