The Pitch: Place your cell phone next to the Link to Cell base and talk on the link2cell’s cordless handsets in your home. With link2cell there’s no need to worry about losing your cell signal and you save the battery life of your phone.

Pro: You don’t have to worry about your mobile phone dropping a call when you go into your home. You also save the battery life on your mobile.

Con: It’s not a seamless switchover–you have to physically place your mobile next to the Link to Cell base. For the price you could get a signal booster for your mobile phone.

Recommendation: There are a number of other companies offering a similar product. I couldn’t find a true differentiator with Panasonic’s so I can’t recommend that it move forward to the next round.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
