Dozens of companies that will be demonstrating their products at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show nominated themselves for the Last Gadget Standing competition. We judges whittled the contenders down to 25 semi-finalists. And now we’ve cut down that list to ten finalists who will get to show their stuff at our event at CES in Las Vegas next week.

Blocks With Brains of Their Own
Last Gadget Standing Nominee: Sifteo Cubes
Price: $149
Sifteo Cubits provide kids with a new way to play. Cubes are wireless 1.5″ blocks with full-color screens that interact with each other and respond to motion to unleash a whole new world of games. The cubes are outfitted with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical displays, and wireless communication features. Pile them, group them, sort them –and you have many variations of game play. While traditional game consoles often lead to “screen stare” and tired thumbs, say the product’s creators, Sifteo Cubes start interacting with you and each other as soon as you pick them up and move them around. Sifteo’s initial collection of titles will include games for adults, fun learning puzzles for kids, and games people can play together.
Cubes are scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2011.
