So which products were hottest this year? From toys to drinks to gadgets, see AOL’s top 15 picks. Of course, you would have notice some of these hot items were selling like hot cakes on eBay as well.

1. iPhone
Which really created in the industry and should be responsible for all the endless wacky auctions on eBay. Since its debut in June over 1.5 million iPhones have been sold.

2. Coke Zero
Coca-Cola’s biggest product launch in over two decades has proven to be a huge hit and has helped drive Coke’s stock price to a seven-year high in 2007.

3. Nintendo Wii
Facing shortages in November worldwide. First released a year ago, Wii has quickly risen to the top of multi-billion dollar video game console industry.

4. Slingbox

7. Google Maps

9. Hannah Montana

10. Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The company already has almost 750 plane orders and is expected to deliver the first planes in late 2008.

11. Freedom-2 Tattoos
A company called Freedom-2 has developed a new tattoo technology that uses biodegradable dyes that can be dissolved in one semi-painful tattoo-removal treatment.

12. RIM BlackBerry 8800
The popularity of this smartphone has helped lift the company stock up over 150 percent in 2007.

13. Webkinz
Each pet comes with a unique secret code that allows you to enter Webkinz World where you care for your virtual pet. These plush toys were top in eBay Pulse for a while.

14. Nikon Coolpix S51c
Reason to be hot: you can email your images or beam them directly from the camera to your Flickr account or to Nikon’s own online photo bank.

15. Second Life
Over 10 million “residents,” with approximately 1 million residents logging in within the last 30 days or so. Reports surfaced about the real money being made by virtual businesses there.

I think these products deserves to be the hottest in 2007 as most of them created too much hoo-has in the shopping industry and on eBay, particularly, iPhone, Webkinz and Wii.

What do you think? Do you have any more products in mind that should be included in Hottest Products for 2007?

I wonder why Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows is not in the list?
