Loading ...It’s time to get out the vote: It was a tough job selecting the top 25 semifinalists for the Last Gadget Standing competition, but we did it. Now it’s all up to you. You have the power to choose the best gadget in our online competition, and just like elections of old, you can vote early and often. You get 25 votes to use as you wish: Pile ‘em all on one candidate or distribute them among a few of your favorites.
Make your vote count on our Ballot Box Page!
Not sure which horse to bet on? We put together something of a voters’ brochure so you can better know your candidates. Read through to see the best features of all of the great gadgets we have assembled, and then return to the Last Gadget Standing Ballot Box page and make your voice heard.
Just when I think that there’s no room for creativity left in the high tech industry, I’m humbled once again. The 25 semifinalists that grace the pages of The Last Gadget Standing website signify the best of the best. Some, like the Acer Aspire 5837D, bring the next level of immersive computing to life with a next-generation 3D notebook PC. Then there’s the groundbreaker of the nettop, the Asus Eee Keyboard, showing off a PC built right into a keyboard.
In what will be remembered at the year of the eBook, you can vote for the Entourage Edge, with it’s dual screen approach, or look at the much-ballyhooed Que Reader with its Plastic Logic design.
Others, like the Intel Reader, give readers who are vision-impaired a chance to read or hear the spoken word. Some, like the Haier Ibizia Trainer, offer exercise enthusiasts a single device that does it all, from playing MP3s to registering your heart rate. Another entrant, the Microvision Pico Projector, uses pico technology to create projectors that you can hold in the palm of your hand but project your image to large auditoriums.
The list goes on and on. A new Neato Robotic vacuum outsmarts the Roomba through the ability to memorize a map of your room and glasses by Vuzix that finally have opened a portal into the alternate universe of augmented reality.
But that’s not all… some of the blank spaces you see on our website are placeholders for products yet to come. We can’t tell you what they are yet, but we can assure you they will change the roadmap of the gadget world. When they’re announced on January 7th, you’ll read about them here and get your chance to register your vote on some of the hottest new products at CES.
I like to that say that in the nine years we’ve been producing the Last Gadget Standing competition, we’ve never picked a bad product. And with the help and expertise of Netshelter Media, we’ve upped the ante, so that the people’s vote is no longer confined to a ballroom in Las Vegas. So go ahead… review the product s and cast your vote. Let’s see how well you can predict the future of the industry.
