Never mind the gadgets, we're having a hard time standing now that we've been at CES for a few days, but we need your opinions. Yahoo! Tech is holding the Last Gadget Standing competition at this year's CES. Last Gadget is in its seventh year, and we're convinced that the attendees always pick the winners.
We've selected 10 great products from the thousands on the show floor. The companies behind the products each have just four minutes to appeal to the live audience, making the case as to why their technology will survive and become part of the digital landscape. My colleagues Ben Patterson, Dory Devlin, Chris Null, and Gina Hughes have all conferred and narrowed the list of entries to 10 select gadgets.
But it wouldn't be legit if you (the most in-touch readers we know) didn't have your say online. So here are the finalists, all winners in their own right. You tell us which one you think will stand the test of time.
Eye-Fi is a specially designed low-power wireless chip with a 2GB memory card. When installed in just about any of today's digital cameras, it automatically transfers photos from the camera to a Mac or PC or any of the popular photo-sharing sites and social networks.
Asus Eee PC 4G is a computer that costs only $399, has a tiny 7-inch screen, runs Linux, and comes with a suite of great software applications.
The LG Voyager is proving to be the iPhone for non-iPhone buyers. It has a touch screen and beneath the flip is a QWERTY keyboard for easy typing.
Dash Express is an Internet-connected GPS device that gives real-time traffic conditions based on data transmitted from other Dash users. Users can also get up-to-the minute notifications via Yahoo! Local about everything from movies to gas prices.
Sansa TakeTV offers a simple and less expensive way to move downloaded TV programs around the house. Using a cradle with standard RCA and S-Video plugs, your TV media is stored on the USB memory stick.
iRobot's iLooj is a robotic gutter cleaner that will clean a stretch of gutter (60 feet) in 10 minutes.
Toshiba's TDP-EW25U is a wireless DLP projector that can produce an image that casts 41 feet or 1.6 feet, create a 60-inch picture even when it's positioned 2.4 feet away, and accommodates high-definition video.
Electric~Spin's Golf LaunchPad Tour lets you play the course as your favorite star. Use our own clubs and take a swing at a very realistic simulation.
The Fujitsu u810, as our Endgadget friends say, is something to drool about. Lightweight and full featured.
The Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard is a keyboard that fits in the palm of your hands, letting you connect PC to TV with minimal fuss.
Stay tuned. There'll be a winner by noon PST tomorrow. You've all had lots to say about each of the individual products, now look at the gestalt. May the best gadget win!
