What's the thing that you could easily manage without but like to use, just for the fun of it? For me it has to be the packing tape gun...

My TomTom 730 for sure.

I couldn't live without anything.

Gadgets I love at the moment are:
HTC Touch Diamond
Ipod Shuffle for the Gym

Couldn't live without them

Xbox 360

Great for getting away from any sort of work and crashing into angry Americans on GRiD.

I am most reliant on my iPhone 3G. I am either online, on the phone or emailing on it all day long!

**Ray Stewart** · #6 (**permalink**) 15-09-2008, 09:15 PM

my laptop. When my arthritis is really painful I can sit in my reclining chair and catch up on my blog, my articles and once in a while, my work!

My iPod Touch. Music, eBooks, email, internet, games, maps, notebook - lovely!

I'm loving my Blackberry Bold, can't believe how well it works. I am half way up a hill in the middle of the woods dealing with an email enquiry from Germany... magic!

Certainly my Tomtom has transformed driving / travelling and have jsut ordered the 730

HD TV, a good film, huge telly and surround sound. Get those floorboards rattling

Pure escapism

Not exactly a gadget but I would really hate to be without my hi-fi. I hate listening to music on bad quality equipment.

**Mark** · #11 (**permalink**) 19-09-2008, 09:45 AM

Don't forget the Music Club here.

Journey · #12 (**permalink**) 16-10-2008, 01:58 PM

For me, my cellphone, Ipod and PS3...
They are my favorite gadgets..

**Jeff-Smith.com** · #13 (**permalink**) 16-10-2008, 02:00 PM

just bought my wife the new iPod Nano - well cool, must get one!

Paul Norman · #14 (**permalink**) 16-10-2008, 05:29 PM

One gadget which is utterly unneccessary, but I would keep till the bitter end is...

my electric can opener...

**Emma** · #15 (**permalink**) 05-02-2009, 05:14 PM

My techical 'expertise' extends as far as an iPod nano - and even then I get Mark to load the stuff on for me!

faststaff · #16 (**permalink**) 06-02-2009, 01:17 PM

My telex machine, although I'm thinking about upgrading it to a "facsimile" machine.

**Mat** · #17 (**permalink**) 07-02-2009, 05:01 PM

I got an "orgasmatron" for Christmas. I could live without it, but it's awesome

batespcm · #18 (**permalink**) 08-02-2009, 10:59 PM

Definitely the over extravagant purchase I made a few weeks ago a top of the range Nikon DSLR

I rarely take photo's went straight from phone to that such a sucker for gadgets!

I haven't a clue how to use the thing

**Mark** · #19 (**permalink**) 08-02-2009, 11:11 PM

^ 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.

kangaroo kards · #20 (**permalink**) 08-02-2009, 11:30 PM

Without any doubt my iPhone 3G - customer orders flow directly on to it and I am able to respond promptly no matter where I am!

I could go on at great length about all the applications on it .... GPS, music, address book, camera, traffic information, train times, talking foreign language dictionaries, investment portfolios ...zzzzzzzzz (anyone still awake)?

Not since you said 'iPhone'!

Nah, I'm not an Apple fan but they're nice bits of kit. Waaay overpriced but nice all the same.

batespcm · #22 (**permalink**) 09-02-2009, 12:11 AM

I like the iphone look but not how it works maybe because I have hands like shovels!

I too think they are way overpriced

thanks for the DSLR tip

Juliawilliams · #23 (**permalink**) 13-02-2009, 10:29 AM

For me the most important one are my cellphone, Ipod and my PC

crataegustess · #24 (**permalink**) 13-02-2009, 11:18 AM

is going to have to be a netbook. I'm on the road a lot more and really need to stay in touch but hate having to lug a laptop (I have wrecked shoulders).

Any one know any good review sites or tips to get something decent, preferably with separate mobile broadband rather than being locked in with built in, but keeping value for money?

Cheers
Tess

My Microwave is my favourite device
