There are far too many new products introduced at CES for any one person to sort through in a reasonable amount of time…but I’m capable of the unreasonable. That’s why I’ve done all of the work for you by painstakingly reading press releases, walking the show floor, and talking to developers all to find the best and most interesting product coming this year. Here are my Top 5 Apple-related products of CES 2011.

Cases for the iPad were everywhere on the CES show floor this year. Most of them are crap, but there are a few that stand above the rest. One such case is the GorillaMobile Ori. It’s a case made out of plastic and metal that is very light but extremely useful. It’s the best stand and case combination I’ve ever seen for iPad, so I went back to the booth to do a quick hands on.

Every year before CES, there’s a press event called CES Unveiled. During this event, many companies show off their new stuff before the official start of CES. It’s a great way to get a taste of what’s to come during the week. This year, I’d like to share with you what I thought were the more notable products at CES Unveiled. My favorites were easily Blue Microphone’s Yeti Pro and Joby’s GorillaMobile Ori. But I’ve already written about both of those, so I’m going to keep moving down my list, in no particular order.

Joby, makers of the Gorillapod, has announced two new case accessories for iPad: The GorillaMobile Ori and the Yogi.  The first is a fully articulate metal folio stand case, and the second is two thirds of a Gorillapod mounted on the back of a plastic iPad shell. Both solve common iPad viewing angle problems, but do so in completely different ways. I had a chance to play with both at CES Unveiled, and let’s just say, I’d like to tell you about them.

Joby has a Gorillapod model for every size and weight of camera, from point and shoot to cell phones to DSLRs. This time around, I’m taking a look at the Gorillapod Focus, which is currently their strongest flexible tripod available. It can hold up to an astounding 5kg (11lbs). That means it’s either a bit overkill for what you have, or just perfect. It’s really aimed at holding professional video equipment. Think huge camcorders.

You already have a tripod, maybe even a Gorillapod Focus. All that’s left is the head. A ballhead is a great choice because of its ability to change angles quickly and easily. Joby now has a new ballhead in their line: the Ballhead X. It’s a great ballhead all around, and one of the best accessories you can buy for your Gorillapod Focus or other tripod, based on its ease-of-use and ability to pan and tilt independently.

There are all kinds of ways you can use your Mac to enhance your photographs, but there is also plenty of hardware out there to help you take better photos to begin with. Such is the case with Joby’s Gorillapod SLR-Zoom. When combined with the Ballhead, this compact tripod with articulable legs becomes a versatile, sturdy system that no outdoor photographer should be without.

Whether you need the Gorillamobile for iPhone 3G and 3GS comes down to how often you need to mount your iPhone, be it for photography, watching movies, etc. The case is decent, but likely not one you’d want to keep attached to your phone when it’s not also attached to the tripod. So, you’re paying $40 specifically for the tripod. It’s a great one—quite sturdy and very flexible, and you may find that it creates uses for itself.

Joby is known for their Gorillapod. Just don’t call it a tripod. It’s more than that, it has articulatable (did I make that word up?) legs which can be wrapped around all sorts of things. Now they have a new model made specifically for mobile devices such as iPhones and other small devices. Tree branches, dogs, cars, poles, no-photography signs, you name it; the Gorillapod mobile can likely grab it or stand on it.
