One of the more amusing features of CES is PC Magazine's annual effort to find the Last Gadget Standing. Basically it lets companies give a four-minute sales pitch for their gizmo, then the assembled crowd "votes" by screaming and hollering, or not. Gadgets that don't earn enough applause are eliminated, while the ones that score highest on the electronic clapometer survive.
This year, the final three came down to Dell's Axim x50v PocketPC, the Delphi XM portable satellite radio and Mobi TV. Even though the Dell dude didn't get around to demonstrating the device's superfast games performance, the x50v won.
"CarChip, from Davis Instruments, also won in similar voting on the web site. CarChip plugs into your car and can record your speed, mileage, and many other car features, including engine diagnostics."
