The annual Consumer Electronics Show has come to an end, and along with all the cool new products, surprisingly there were even more wacked products on the show floor than usual.
We’ve wrapped up the wackiest, weirdest, most bizarre and biggest FAIL products from the show floor this year, guaranteed to surprise, delight and keep you LOLing and ROFLing with glee.
Here’s a partial list of our dubious winners:
Angry Birds – the board game: That’s right, soon you’ll be able to play an IRL version of Rovio’s Angry Birds. The pigs are running scared already. From Mattel
Nanda Home Tocky & Clocky: Having trouble getting up in the morning? Did your iPhone alarm clock fail at the worst possible time? Well these wacky alarm clocks just don’t take no for an answer. They bounce around, roll crazily on the floor, and basically offer more annoyance per square inch than a teething toddler.
Be A Head Case: Speaking of the iPhone – and just in time for the Verizon iPhone, this here’s an iPhone case designed for all you Bubbas out there. It includes a built in beer bottle opener – and a belt clip to disguise it!
iGrill: And what goes with beer better than charred meat? But not too charred (and not too rare either). This wireless meat probe from iDevices connects to your iPhone and lets you know just how hot your meat really is.
There’s tons more, including a couple of exercise toys that flog the dolphin even better than the Shake Weight, balls that you control with your iPhone, and even USB jewelry (so pimp).

CES Tablet-a-palooza!
This year at CES 2011, we expect everyone and their monkey to release new tablet-based computers designed to compete with Apple’s iPad. The flood started in advance, with Visio showing off its new tablet and phone over the weekend. But now that CES is about to begin, the new tablets are coming out in earnest.
It’s not the first time at the rodeo for both Toshiba and Lenovo, who unveiled their slick Android and Windows 7 tablets yesterday.
The first, from Lenovo, runs Windows 7, and comes on the heels of one of last year’s most blogged about product, Lenovo’s U1 iPad Killer – which was unceremoniously killed a few months later. This one offers similar convertible capabilities – it works as a win7 tablet, along with including a snap in keyboard that turns it into a notebook replacement. Lenovo’s releasing a wide range of tablet-style device here at the show, along with all-in-ones and more. But this one’s a pretty cool way to start

Toshiba also has extensive tablet experience. They’ve been making stand-alone and keyboard convertible models for more than ten years, mostly running Windows for Pen – Microsoft’s failed early attempts to corner the tablet world.
Their new mystery model runs on the Gingerbread variant of Android, and includes an innovative display technology that makes the screen among the best we’ve seen. The tablet senses light, and provides on-the-fly image enhancement when the unit moves from low-light to bright lights. It has to be seen – and our video captures it perfectly
