I didn’t get to chime in, but if I had, I might have voted for the two products that won. The consumer champ is Emo Labs’ invisible speakers, which I’ve been raving about since I heard them back in January. And the other is a nifty-looking item I haven’t written about yet: Liaise, an add-in for Outlook that examines your emails and automatically and intelligently creates sharable action items based on the information it finds. (I love the idea, but it’s so wildly ambitious that I need to see more than canned demos before I can give it an unqualified thumbs up–even so, I’m already hoping it’ll come to Gmail.)

Emo’s technology may not show up in flat-panel TVs until 2010′s holiday season, where it’ll probably add 10-15% to the cost of the set over more mundane speakers; Liaise is in private beta and should be available soon for under $10 a month. Both are clever ideas that stood among the crowd of around 70 exhibiting companies–almost all of the rest of which involved Web-based services and/or iPhone apps.
