Winners of Last Gadget Standing Announced

PC Magazine Announces Winners at Annual Last Gadget Standing Held at CES 2006

PC Magazine, the leading technology magazine in the world, announced today the best products and services at CES 2006 that are destined to stand the test of time and become long-time players
in the consumer electronics industry.

This year, in a fast-paced show hosted by noted Ziff Davis and PC Magazine tech experts Michael J. Miller and Robin Raskin, the online audience voted for the Pioneer Inno, a tiny handheld device which merges XM Radio with content you can save and buy; while simultaneously the live audience vote from the Sands Convention Center went to the Celestron SkyScout, which uses GPS technology to help identify any visible object in the sky.

"This year our readers chose the finalists for the live event over the course of a month of rigorous online heats," said Michael J. Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Ziff Davis Media. "The finalists they chose ran the full gamut of evolving entertainment and convenience-oriented products and the two winners are perfect examples of the huge diversity and growth that continues to develop in the consumer electronics market."

The Last Gadget Standing pre-final heats ran for a month on PC Magazine's website. Readers looked at 32 new products that were handpicked by the editors and grouped into categories: Mobility, Digital Entertainment, PCs and Peripherals and Personal Devices. The online competition narrowed the field to
8 finalists. The editors also added two products that were just announced to the public at the opening of the show.

At CES, each of the ten finalists presented a four minute demonstration of their product to a standing room only crowd at the Sands Convention Center while online participants viewed summaries of the product's capabilities. The final online vote was conducted from Jan 5 - Jan 6 at http://www.pcmag.com and was tabulated using Interactive Messaging Unlimited, a new technology from Pangolin SMS.
