Best of CES 2011
Clockwise from top left: Samsung's 8000 series LED 3DTVs, Verizon's 4G LTE network, Motorola's Xoom tablet and the Casio Tryx.
CES 2011, like most years, requires wading through seemingly endless piles of gadgety detritus. But buried amongst the technophilic rubble are gems: Those products that genuinely excite us, the ones that make the trip not only worthwhile but actually fun. These few gadgets and technologies will set the tone for 2011: They're embracing new ideas, whether it's ridiculously fast wireless internet, shape-shifting gadgets, or groundbreaking ways to keep us safe. CES at its best is a glimpse into the near future, and these are the products that exemplify that.
Click to launch our picks for the products of the future from CES 2011.
We've chosen this gallery from the hundreds of products we saw over the past few days. We debated (sometimes fiercely) over the best, the most futuristic, and the most beautiful stuff at this year's show, and decided on these as the best of the best. We hope you enjoy it!

Check out my post about the wrapping up of CES 2011. I talk about the highlights of this year's event. If you like my site, please tell others about it because it is still a new site and I want to develop a larger audience for it.
Also, please comment in the comments section of the site about any improvements I can make. Thank you so much!

These are all consumer gadgets. The real innovations are in the specialized markets. Products that actually rise above the toy cult and serve a purpose. Probably too esoteric and boring for this crowd.
CES was great this year, much better then the last several years IMHO.
