Eyefi_memory_card Yahoo! has announced that the innovative Eye-Fi Card is the winner of ''Last Gadget Standing'' at CES 2008, saying that the Eye-Fi represents the hottest product with the most staying power. We couldn't agree more,  the Eye-Fi card is ready to take off once the word gets out to mainstream consumers.

The annual "Last Gadget Standing" competition is a live event where ten gadgets duke it out for consumers' affection. Yahoo! Tech's experts reviewed hundreds of products, and with the help of millions of Yahoo! readers, narrowed the list to ten gadgets that represent the most relevant products to consumers' lives, as well as the directions the consumer electronics industry is headed. At the standing-room-only competition, each of the finalists gave a four minute demonstration of their products to the live audience, who then voted for the gadget they felt would make a difference in their lives.
