Ten gadgets entered, but only one left victorious: Data Drive Thru's USB data transfer cable, The Tornado.

Facing down challengers like the RS Media Robosapien and the Nokia N95, the Tornado wowed an aging media that appeared more interested in last fall's news than anything new CES had to offer. The Jitterbug old person cell phones made an appearance, but weren't simplistic enough to out-do a plug-and-play data transfer cable.

The highlight of the contest? Data Drive Thru's chimpanzee spitting into a microphone, followed by the company rep saying, "That's what we think of the iPhone!" Where are the camcorders when you need them? – Karson Thompson

With this USB data transfer device from Think Geek, it's a snap to connect one computer to another. Simply plug one 4-foot retractable USB 2.0 cable into one computer, and the other cable into another, and then you're off and running, dragging and dropping between the two with reckless abandon. It happens quickly, too, at 25Mb per second, and a blue LED indicator light lets you know that all is well. Pocket-sized at just under 4 inches tall, it's $50. A true mitzvah!
