PC World Magazine has released its official top-20 list of last year’s most innovative and useful new technology products, awarding big-name companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Intel with most of the top spots.

Google’s popular suite of web-based office applications (Google Apps) placed #1 on the list, due to its flexible nature and high potential for mobile collaboration.

“Google’s Docs & Spreadsheets (soon to be joined by a PowerPoint-esque presentation application) already makes for an interesting alternative to Microsoft Office,” PC World said in its online review. “Combine it with Gmail, Google Talk, and Google Calendar, and suddenly nearly all of your basic productivity programs and data can be available online.”

Intel’s Core 2 Duo microprocessor placed second on the PC World list, followed by the Nintendo Wii gaming console, Verizon’s FiOS internet service, and Research In Motion’s BlackBerry 8800 wireless email device.
