Last Gadget Standing
The Last Gadget Standing looks for products that are more than just a flash in the pan. They are products that will endure and are pioneering the ways in which the digital world will change. Any exhibitor at CES can enter a product into the Last Gadget Standing – though it must be a , not a service or software. Products need to have shipped during 2011 or be available for shipping by the end of Q2 of 2012. We honor NDAs and we reserve two spaces for products that have winner potential but won’t be announced until the show.
Old timers, sorry, but we’ve had to include a small entrée fee this year to cover the costs of the production and space. There is a $500 entry fee.
How We Judge Your Products
Our panel of expert judges have multiple years of expertise in reviewing products. Judges include Michael Miller, Harry McCracken, Dan Costa, Mellissa Perenson, and Joanna Stern. Our experts review your applications and narrow the list down to 25 semi-finalists. Each product submitted gets a description on the website and readers are welcome to comment. The judges will write reviews of the 25 semifinalists and we’ll continue to solicit reader comments until we narrow the list down to the Top 10.
The Top Ten finalists are invited to the Vegas stage where we play to a full house. Entertainment and fun are just and important as educating the audience about your product. We encourage you to watch the videos from past years and get a feel for this very different type of event. At the same time that the audience is voting live in Las Vegas we will also be asking our online followers to vote among the same top ten and choose a "people's winner." A press release announcing the winners will go out the moment the show has ended.
Special Host
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.

I love my Body Media Fit. Its the second one I’ve owned. It keeps track of calories burned, sleep paterns, steps taken and it is the first program I have been completely honest with my eating and journal everything. It makes me want to hit my Calories burned goals and keep below my calories consumed. I am always trying to increase my personal bests and hit all my marks. It has been the best tool for keeping me on track. I’ve lost 14 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I’ve cut out snacking and started running. I am in the best shape I’ve been in in years!
I love my body media band. I am walking more and enjoying it too!
I love my Bodymedia. I don’t think I could function a day without it!!!!!
I Love my BMF!!! I’ve lost over 15 pounds already and continue to wear it everyday. I don’t know what I’d do without my armband keeping me on the right track everyday! Absolute LOVE!
Both my husband & I got this arm band through Jenny Craig and feel that the feedback & accountability are poweful positive motivators. Customer Service is excellent too. After buying armband, the monthly subscription is under $7, cost of about 2 lattes a month! 5 stars!
I love my body media band! It really gets you motivated!
I love my Body Media Fit Core Armband. It keeps track of my calories burned, steps I have taken, the intensity of my physical activities and my sleep duration. It provides me feedback about how I did on reaching my target calorie burn for the previous day. When I am not eating properly (carbs, protein, fat, etc) it alerts me to the percentage of what I should have consumed for that nutrient along with my actual consumption percentage. It also gives me tips and food suggestions on how to get my ‘daily recommended minimum’ for nutrients that I am lacking in my meals.
5 stars!
Loved it at first, but found that it counts riding in car as intense exercise so my numbers are WAY off. Customer support told me to take it off when in the car. I drive a lot for work, so if i take it off I would hardly ever wear it. Also have had trouble getting it to stay paired with my iphone. It has the potential to be really cutting edge, but still too many issues.
My body media band helped me lose those last 10 pounds to get back to my pre-baby weight that I had been trying to lose for years. Great!
Yay!
