Has to be the sat nav, so much easier than spreading a map across the windscreen whilst trying to find a way through the road works on the M6 (or should that be perennial roadworks?)

My Cordless Headphones. Hifi is whired up to TV, DVD and Freeview box (gurt tree in the way of any possibility of a Dish, and no cable where I live) has a range of 30m so anywhere in the house, office in the garden without a problem. Absolutely love 'em to bits and is fantastic when wife and daughter get Jaw Boning during anything I wanna watch...

My handheld scanner, perfect for scanning in post for emailing to my client - I know it's a bit sad, but it saves me soooo much time so it saves them money too...
^ Ensure you use only Manual - it's the only way you'll ever learn photography. I've been using pro Digital SLRs for nigh-on 15 years and I still use manual.
I'll second that. My first automatic camera was a Canon back in pre-digital days. It had done well in reviews and won a European Camera of the Year award, but the auto setting was geared to high speed rather than aperture. I had to use manual mode to get the depth of field effects I was after, and ended up using the automatic setting only for typical snapshots.
The gadget on my current wish list is an iPhone. I'm not normally into fancy mobile phones, but a friend was showing me the other night what his iPhone could do and I could see a use for it. In particular, as an occasional Mac software developer, I can see an income potential with one.
Pair of large and very expensive at the time of BOSE 301 loudspeakers !
(in the days BOSE where focused on the sound produced rather than the ascetics)
They have outlived two amplifiers and two CD Players and I suspect will outlive me

im a bit of a sucker for getting the latest gadgets. At the moment i could not be without my iPod Touch, use it all the time for picking up my email and great for when in the gym!
Though i am tempted to get the new iPhone when its out.
I have to agree with Ray, when it comes to my laptop, its portability beats the advantages of my desktop every time. I love the fact that I can sit in front of the television and browse the internet, or take myself into the garden and carry on working in the sun.
