Five Must-See Gadgets at CES

You've only got a few hours to kill at the show this year? Here's what you should see with your own eyes, if at all possible. If you can't catch the Seven Wonders of the World, don't miss the Five Wonders of CES.

Sharp's 108-inch LCD (pictured) - The biggest flat-panel TV in the world is no longer a plasma but an LCD, though Sharp's 1920 x 1080-pixel custom-rigged monster has met with some iffy reviews. The 100-inch LCD from LG looks a lot, ahem, sharper. (Alas, neither are actually for sale in the real world.)

Asus XG Station - The first ever external video card, designed for letting graphics-limited laptops play high-end 3D games. It works.

SanDisk Sansa Connect - The coolest new MP3 player on the show floor. It takes the wirelessness of the Zune and does it less stupidly: You share files via a subscription to a music service (not yet announced) instead of via an ad hoc network. It's the size of a business card, stores 8GB of tunes, has real-time Internet radio, and more. The SanDisk booth is ridiculously busy, be warned.

LG Total DVD Player - Sure, it's not much to look at, but this $1,200 player that can handle both HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs could be the first shot in the war to end the high-def standards slapfight.

Yahoo! Go - Hey, had to plug the mothership. The Yahoo! Mobile Search stuff is cool, but if you come by the Yahoo! booth, you can get a free ice cream cone, complete with candy mix-ins and everything. It's like a gadget you can eat. Wave to your Yahoo! Tech staff, operating out of the back of the Yahoo! booth!

Of course that's just the tip of the iceberg. Rest assured, all the Yahoo! Tech bloggers will be covering much more cool gear for the next three days. Check our full coverage here!
