The 2010 Consumer Electronics Show is finally here and Manolith.com will be in Las Vegas to give you exclusive access. From eye popping TVs to hybrid bicycles, we’ve compiled a list of the top seven must-see products at CES 2010. These gadgets and gizmos will definitely break the bank, especially in our time of economic struggle, but we can always dream, right?

1) Google Nexus One

Google is pulling out all the stops with their newest smartphone: Nexus One. It looks like Google is quickly becoming a monopoly and this phone might put them over the edge. After watching this video, you’ll understand why I’m thinking about trading in my iPhone. Seriously, the real-life GPS function is incredible.

2) Light Blue Optics “Light Touch”

Projectors are cool, but what if I told you that you can make any surface an interactive touchscreen. Well, Light Blue Optics allows you to do just that. With their holographic laser projection technology, LBO created the “Light Touch” and was recently awarded as a “CES Innovation Honoree.”

3) Skype HD

Skype has definitely revolutionized the way we communicate with people around the world and even cheapened the once expensive interaction. If you thought video chat was cool, wait until you see it in HD! Expensive video conferencing utilities are a thing of the past and Skype is ready to start the new decade with some futuristic fun.

4) Vizio XVT LCDs

In 2010, it’s all about skinny, flat LCD screens. One company that is able to capitalize off of this new trend is Vizio. Introducing their latest product, the XVT, Vizio let’s their customers enjoy an incredible 21:9 aspect ratio. Not to mention the screen is almost razor thin and looks like something out of “Minority Report.” Oh yeah, and did we mention these also come in 80″!

5) Viliv n5 Touchscreen Netbook

Apple’s iSlate tablet is in their final stages of release, but one gadget that may have beat them to the punch is the all-new Viliv n5 Touchscreen Netbook. Debuting at CES 2010, we love the concept of this product, but the specs are bit questionable. It will be interesting to see how smartphone users adapt to all these new tablets.

6) Cool-er E-Reader

Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook, might be in for some heavy competition with the COOL-ER e-reader. This “cooler” looking e-reader will be introduced at CES 2010 and is hoping to “wow” the competition with their unique features. The wifi enabled device will enable users to download on the fly via wifi hotspots. Vote or Buy?

7) SANYO Eneloop Bike

One of the coolest bikes to hit the streets in a while is the Sanyo Eneloop Bike. This pedal-assist, three-speed regenerative eBike allows riders the flexibility to exercise or effortlessly cruise, all while being eco-friendly. Man, I wish they had something like this when I was a kid. Going up hills would’ve been a breeze.
