Believe me, picking products that epitomize emerging technologies at CES ain’t easy. Come to think of it, even getting a cab isn’t easy at CES. But we Last Gadget Standing judges have spent the last few weeks sorting through a fabulous selection of products. I figure our judges have each easily seen at least a couple of hundred new products this year year alone. And when they get a little jaded or overstimulated we turn to you for crowdsourced intelligence.
We’ve choose eighteen products we think you should keep your eye on. (We also have more products–including ones from Fujitsu, Intel, Nvidia, and other companies–that we can’t even talk about until January 5th, when the press day at CES begins.)
You’ll see a special badge next to the posts on our top choices to date. Hearty congratulations to the first batch of finalists:
Acer Iconia two-screen notebook
Barnes & Noble Nookcolor e-reader
Bringrr Bluetooth phone accessory
Dynamics Card 2.0 smart credit cards
DryCorp DRYcase for phones and cameras
Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3 camera
LensPen SideKick touchscreen cleaner
Mad Catz Rock Band 3 MIDI Pro Controller
Rullingnet Vinci tablet for toddlers
Sony Ericcson LiveView microdisplay
ViewSonic 3DPF8 3D Photo Frame
Our judges will be choosing ten finalists, and the audience at our Last Gadget Standing event at CES will determine the ultimate winner. In the meantime, let us know what you like–or don’t like–about these contenders. (In the coming days, we’ll also give you some head-to-heads to vote on.) Thanks for your input, and follow us on Twitter at @lastgadget2011 for more news.
We're extremely lucky this year to have Gary "Bababooey" Dell'Abate and Jon Hein, of the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show to emcee the Last Gadget Standing . They love products and they love the CES crowd.

heard about soundcage from the tech show been waiting for them to hit the market? when will they be available? (work in construction with lots of interests)
I personally love these Sonomax Soundcage earbuds. I haven't been able to find any that are comfortable, and on top of that, these ones are apparently safe, no hearing loss will occur. I love the custom fit and the price….can't wait to see them hit the market as well.
