» CES best of show winners | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com

CES sounded like a yawn-fest this year, but ZDNet points out some of the bright spots. I thought the Bug Labs device looked pretty cool. It is essentially building blocks that you can use to make your own custom gadget. The blocks include a GPS locator, a digital camera, an accelerometer/motion sensor, and a touch sensitive LCD screen. It still seems a bit clunky and large for my tastes, but maybe eventually it will shrink.

The Lenovo IdeaPad series looks intriguing, too. It is a laptop similar to the business line of ThinkPads, but these are aimed at home users. They look like they've got a lot of bang for the buck.
