Best of CES -- a win for the LG dual hi-def drive

Every year, CNet has a Best in Show competition at CES, and this year, the 30 top contenders included the Nokia N76, SanDisk Sansa Connect, Asus W5Fe SideShow Notebook. and the Microsoft-licensed Reclusa gamer's keyboard. The winner nominated by CNet was the LG BH100 system (below), which plays both HD DVD and Blu-ray movies, with Ford Sync powered by Microsoft taking the People's Voice award. Windows Vista won the Computers and hardware category. Apple's iPhone failed to win anything by not turning up, leaving us with the odd problem that the most memorable product of CES 2007 was one that wasn't there.
