Gaj-It returns to winning ways, winning last weeks coolest gadget with the exceedingly cool Rovio Wi-Fi Robot.

This ingenious piece of gadgetry streams video and audio through a built-in camera, and can be controlled from anywhere. When I say anywhere, I do mean that you can be sipping mojitos in Hawaii and checking up on what’s going at home in London by controlling Rovio around your living room via the internet.

In second place comes Decide What to Buy with the useful telephoto lens for your mobile.

This universal lens also connects up to a tripod and transforms your phone’s humble camera into a 8x zoom machine. Now all you need to do is fit the thing in your bag.

Finally in third place we have the not so useful but pretty cool R/C Dead Fred Zombie.

Halloween comes a little bit early with the remote-controlled Dead Fred. This 4-foot long realistic looking zombie is powered by a quartet of DC motors and two 12-volt batteries, allowing it to groan, scream and talk in full digital audio thanks to an onboard amplifier and speaker (complete with trailing entrails).

Thanks to everybody who voted, commented and submitted entries (If you write for a gadget themed blog and wish to be included in next weeks contest check out the CGOTW instructions page).

Now onto the randomly drawn winner for the $50 Amazon voucher, it goes to commentator AMiR, congratulations we’ll be in touch.

We have a new totally different contest starting tomorrow, want to hear about it first? Subscribe to our daily digest via email or RSS.
