Gadgets -- once the powertool of the geek, now has becomes mainstream. I don't have a massive collection of gadgets, but here are the few in my personal collection:
Canon
Powershot S230 Digital Camera
Obtained: February 2003 Use: Taking digital photos -- especially for Imagery Comment: Great camera, although now succeeded by the S400.
Special thanks to the Windows Messenger Dev Team for buying me this.
Casio
EM-500 (Sky Blue) PocketPC Obtained: 2000 Memory: 16 MB
OS: PocketPC (2000) Processor: MIPS 150Mhz Use: Mainly used for listening to music using separate Casio
remote/earphones (which works with Pocket Windows Media Player) Comment: Awesome screen, but unfortunately becomes useless
outdoors.
Rio
300 MP3 Player
Obtained: 1999
Memory: 32 MB

by a faulty battery door (continues to be debated on
RioWorld).
StarTAC
7790 Cellular Phone

Comment: Unfortunately this phone is really outdated -- battery
life, reception, and features aren't really up to today's standards (ie.
incoming SMS only). Although it can make use of the various
Motorola "testmode" functions.

OS: PocketPC 2002 Premium Edition Processor: XScale 400Mhz Use: Primarily used as a main PDA (contacts, etc.) but may become
