Too big for twitter, too small for an article and too cool to miss, these are the top 5 gadgets to have fallen through the cracks.
5. fit PC2i – While the name conjures images of another fitness device, the fit PC2i is actually the smallest computer I have ever laid eyes on. The fully functional computer is advertised as about the same size as a soda can, which doesn’t really make sense seeing as its a box, but whatever.
4. LG web apps – It’s coming, folks. The total integration of all devices and all platforms. Just when you thought the TV was another ho-hum appliance, it gets apps.
3. Ultimate Workstation – Supposedly the first guy to buy this thing was a Google programmer who wanted it to actually do work. Figures. I don’t think I’d ever be able to turn off Modern Warfare.
2. Microsoft Surface – Imagine an iPhone, except in table form. That’s Surface. The technology is different than the iPhone and it’s only being marketed to commercial entities like hotels and restaurants, but boy is it cool.
1. iPod Boomboxes – Okay I’m feeling a bit sarcastic about the number one on our list. I don’t really know anyone who would buy one of these. Do you?
I did a similar post, but was mainly focused on in-home energy grid systems. I saw quite a few at CES but limited press coverage.

The Ultimate Workstation was intense! For the LG TV, what other social media platforms did they have on it? The Skype integration looked pretty cool.
