CNET Editor at Large Rafe Needleman enjoys the 5.1 Sound Egg stereo chair. He says it sounds phenomenal. Its aesthetic, on the other hand, is up for debate.

Now you can have your very own Star Trek communicator. This Internet phone, designed to take your Skype calls, is manufactured by tech gizmo company Dream Cheeky and even makes authentic communicator beeps.

Dream Cheeky also makes this Star Trek Enterprise Webcam.

The eye in this robot is actually a camera. With its remote, you can get a sneaky ankle-high view of the I-bot's surroundings. If you'd like to see your subjects' faces, you'll need to stick with the AR.Drone.

A rep for e-cigarette-maker Smoking Everywhere demonstrates the battery-based nicotine-delivery system, which gives off only a puff of water vapor. In cities with smoking bans, this product probably inspires some interesting confrontations.

...but you will need to recharge your e-cigarette from time to time.

The Beamz digital instrument uses hand movements and beams of lights to make music. At CES, the crowd enjoyed slicing through empty air to make tunes, but we can't say they looked cool doing it.

Yogen makes a gadget charger that lets you power up your phone with a pull of a string--useful in a pinch, and probably burns at least a handful of calories in the process.

This hat, as modeled by Rafe Needleman, lets you watch your portable video player even in bright, outdoor environments. It's also the strangest headgear beyond Lady Gaga's hat rack.

At the Lego Universe booth, show-goers can put together their very own Lego mini figure.

Remember Furbys? This phone never got over the decline of fuzzy robot popularity.

This phone appears to hail from CES 1910.
