I had such a blast checking out Last Gadget Standing at last year’s CES, that I made sure to put it on my calendar again for this year. Presented by NetShelter Technology Media and hosted by Robin Raskin, veteran tech journalist and founder of Living in Digital Times, this high-energy, interactive SuperSession where 10 finalists show off their products to fight for the Last Gadget Standing title.

All 10 have a four-minute chance to present their case for why the audience should vote for them. See all top 10 products. The products are read off at the end, and the winner is determined by the loudest applause. Applause meters throughout the room measure for the loudest decibel levels.

Being a runner, I loved the Haier Ibiza Trainer. For just $60 it combines a music player, pedometer, heart rate monitor, stopwatch and calorie counter into a single device that’s small enough to clip on to your clothing. The Intel Reader is a handheld device that snaps a picture of printed text and reads it back to you. This has big implications for assisting sight-impaired readers.

Motorola Droid entertained the crowd with a light saber fight for over a Droid and SHOWWX Laser Pico Projector brought out their best Dr. Evil impersonator to present the product.

The D-link Boxee Box took home the prize. The Boxee D-link box is a one-stop shop for internet content on your TV. Boxee has been riding a wave of success since being named the winner of CEA’s 2008 iStage contest.
