Sony, GoPro and HTC were among the winners at this year's T3 awards after picking a host of titles.

Sony was awarded the Gadget of the Year and the Gaming accolade for its PlayStation 4, and the Japanese firm also received the inaugural entry into the T3 Hall of Fame. 

Despite winning awards for its MacBook Pro and Mac Pro, in the Laptop or Tablet of the Year and Design Innovation categories respectively, Apple received boos, and was mocked by host Richard Bacon, for not sending anyone to collect its accolades.

And, its multi-billion dollar purchase Beats by Dre lost out in the Headphones of the Year category to Philips Fidelio S2.

The winners were announced at an award ceremony in London last night, hosted by Richard Bacon.

HTC's One (M8) picked up the award for Phone of the Year, while GoPro won Camera of the Year for its HERO3+ Black Edition. 

HTC's Phone of the Year award is the second time the Taiwanese firm has been presented with the accolade, after picking up the same title for last year's HTC One.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 was Highly Commended in the phone category, and the South Korean firm picked up TV of the Year for its HU8500.

Sir James Dyson was the recipient of the T3 Tech Legend award, which is given to people whose 'impact on the technology world has, and continues to have, significant and positive effect'.

Last year's winner was TED curator Chris Anderson.

On accepting the award, Sir James Dyson said: 'What an honour. 

'My focus is on making new technology and exciting machines. But the best ideas are not all mine, it is Dyson's 2,000 sparky engineers and scientists who should take the credit.

'Working with them and some of the best universities in the world, we are developing new technologies which make things work better.'
