EDITOR’s REMARKS

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the first Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) phone is large but still relatively light, and quite capable with a 4.65-inch, 1280 by 720 display, dual-core processor, and 32MB of internal memory. As such it’s fast and quite smooth.

Most importantly, though, it runs the new Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, which uses software buttons to let you easily scroll through recently run applications, go back a screen, or return to your home screen. The browser in particular seems much faster. Other new features include face recognition for unlocking the phone, much improved camera controls, better cloud integration, and a new mobile data usage monitor. The phone is also designed for Near Field Communications, though Google Wallet is not currently available. And of course, it runs the many application s in the Android Market.

Pros: good performance, large display, improved operating system and browser, face recognition, many Android applications

Cons: may be too large for some, relatively weak camera, less social media integration that some other Android phones, pricey

About

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.
