what is the coolest gadget

notos&w · Oct 15, 2002

... you've bought in the last 6 months? included are things like knives, flashlights, accessories for either or your gun, multitools, holsters, etc.
the definition of gadget is wide-open.

please include price and if obscure, place you bought it.

HP 49G Graphing calculator...if this isn't a gadget I don't know what a gadget is.

It was reduculously expensive at $177 (My parents helped pay for it though

) because I had to pay Utah sales tax AND shipping on it. Purchased at Samson Cables--

Saaby:

I bought an HP 49G for my son to replace his HP48 when he majored in Physics and Math at UC Berkeley. You're lucky to get it as, I understand, HP is exiting the calculator market.

I'm told that this was the calculator of choice for engineering students the last few years.

Somebody find me a credit-card sized RPN calculator, and I'll vote for it as the coolest gadget of all time!

well, the coolest gadget i own is the Archos Studio 20, 20 megabytes of hd space, can store craploads of songs, and doubles as a portable hard-drive. also has updatable firmware. but i got it more like 8 months ago, so i suppose it doesn't really count...

Recently my Treo 90 from Handspring is the coolest gadget for me.

Just got me a Sony Clie PDA. Though about a Pocket PC but decided to just stick with Palm OS. It has 3 white LED's for the backlight so I guess it qualifies as a light.

My Apple iPod 10GB. I can't believe I survived all these years without having 1,356 songs in my pocket at all times.

Probably my Garmen Etrex Vista. Tonight though, I bought a just released Logitech MX700 cordless mouse. Not cheap by any means but it tracks as well as any corded mouse I've owned and that's the first time I can say that about a cordless mouse. Rechargeable as well.

Palm i705, with Palm.net Wireless Service. Upgraded in May or so from an Palm VII.

It's got everything in there...

Panasonic LC-20 digital camera. Very compact and user friendly and with 128 Mb of SD cards it's great.

Surefire X10 (and you guys call your self's Flashaholics)!

Ti Chopsticks.

Graham · Oct 15, 2002

Hmm. Hard to choose...

The Swarovski telescope I got recently (older version of the one here) - in excellent condition, got it for about $300 on a Yahoo auction here in Japan.

Or the Sebenza I bought last week..

Sharp Zaurus SL-5500. You haven't lived until you putty into your PDA.

Greenie Laser.

Graham · Oct 16, 2002

Ok, I'm at home now, so I can look over my stuff and see what we have.

And..I can't imagine how I could have forgotten this.
Can't go past a 1/16 scale model radio controlled tank..lots of fun.
