Roomba Is The Last Gadget Standing

It's official. iRobot's Roomba is the Last Gadget Standing. "We'd like to congratulate iRobot," commented event host PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Michael J. Miller, "Clearly, the Roomba captured the attention of people, both at the session at CES and on the Web site. We'd like to thank all the companies for participating. These products gave us a great view of where consumer electronics is headed."

Since the last gadget focuses on trends that are keepers, our guess is that we'll be back next year at CES to see even more robotics at work.
