Here's a quick summary:
Best Gadget: The Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) Q. Beating out a host of contenders, the Q looks to have all the major features of a work and play wireless device (email, multimedia messaging, music, and video) wrapped up in a very slim package that won't feel as dorky to lift to your ear as many of today's larger smartphones.
Worst Gadget: A priceless toy for the incorrigibly lazy, the Excalibur Electronics motorized pool lounger has a pair of little joysticks on the armrests, so you can steer yourself round the pool without all the effort of gentle paddling. Now if they could just invent an automatic olive-spearer.

Sadly, the trains themselves are definitely not made to handle the kind of crowds that CES draws. A cheerful onboard announcement informs travelers that the monorail can transport 4,000 passengers an hour. Well, there were about 130,000 people at this year's show, and pretty much everyone wanted to get to and leave the convention center at around the same time, and... well, you do the math.
Let's just say that those cars could get more initimate than the Tokoyo subway at Monday morning rush hour. But hey, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?
Best Bonhomie: Motorola's Ed Zander and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG)'s Eric Schmidt were former colleagues at Sun Microsystems Inc. , and the pair kept the banter flowing during Schmidt's brief appearance at the "Motomixer" event on Thursday night. Zander drew laughs with his persistent riffing on Schmidt's Google millions.
Worst-Dressed Booth People: The musicians on the Creative Labs stand appeared to be dressed as monks... with fake afros to boot.

Still, some signals are bigger than others. We don't know what access points were being used at the Palm Inc. booth, but the signal could still be picked up a good distance from the show floor.
Best Entertainer: Who else but...
