Best in Home Video: Dish DuoDVR SlingLoaded ViP922
The Dish DuoDVR SlingLoaded ViP922 is a 1TB HD DVR that includes built-in Slingbox functionality, allowing you to stream live and recorded Dish Network TV programming to Windows PCs, Macs, and a wide variety of 3G smartphones.

Best of Gaming: Nyko Wand
The Nyko Wand improves on the original Nintendo Wii remote, and its ability to send out commands via its Trans-Port has seemingly endless applications.

Best of Home Audio: Samsung HT-BD7200
The 2.1-style (two speakers plus subwoofer) home theater system combines a unique design that's anything but boxy and boring with a full load of features.

Best of MP3 and Portable Video Players: Samsung P3
Samsung's P3 touch-screen MP3 player makes its debut at CES 2009. The P3 includes a 3-inch WQVGA display, FM radio, Bluetooth, and audio and video playback.The P3 will be available in the first half of 2009 in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32 GB storage capacities.

Best of Computer and Hardware: Sony Vaio P-Series Lifestyle PC
The P-series Lifestyle PC is one of the smallest laptops we've seen. The wide-screen, 8-inch 1,600x768 display and tiny keyboard give this machine roughly the same footprint as a standard white business envelope.

Best of Cell Phones, People's Voice, and Best of CES 2009: Palm Pre
Stephane Maes was the lucky representative from Palm to accept all three awards at the ceremony this morning. The Pre offers a nice combination of a slide-out keyboard and a multitouch screen, but more impressive is the user interface and the Palm Web OS, which offers true multitasking.
