Apple once again was the star of the show at the annual MacUser awards, taking away six Maxine statues including Product of the Year for the iTunes Music Store.

It also picked up a coveted reader award from host Nicholas Parsons - the Power Mac G5 was voted Hardware of the Year - as did Adobe, whose Creative Suite won MacUser readers' hearts in the Software category.

Adobe also picked up two further awards, as did Canon which scooped both camera gongs.
