1.) Leatherman "Juice" pocket knife.
2.) Garmin RINO 120 GPS/Radio.
3.) Home-made crossbow.
4.) Cheap little Virgin Mobile cell phone. (Audiovox CDM-8500VM)
5.) Sony Mini disk player/recorder.
(My soundtrack is a cross between Ozric Tenticles, Rush, and the theme
from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
6.) TV remote shaped like a Next Generation Phaser gun.
7.) And last I will list, thou the list could go on, my 10" Ryobi
miter box saw.

And I too would like more gadgets, but the unemployed don't get new
toys.

Magellan SporTrak Pro GPS Receiver
Sony Clie TJ37 PDA
HP850 Photosmart digital camera
Delphi XM Radio receiver in my truck

Honorable mentions:

A toss-up:

Cap that holds two beers
Yankees t-shirt
Tungsten E

Probably the faucet, closely followed by the flushing toilet.

Oh, you don't mean ubiquitous gadgets? Then it would be my HP-41CV.

You forgot "TV remote control".

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

9 times out of 10, people are living in those kind of conditions because
they have a habit of making all kinds of wacky things into a priority...

- HP iPaq h2210 with its HP 3600mAh extended battery; having been a
Palm user for years I bought it out of curiosity and the extended
battery kept me with it.
- A computer I built myself that I'm using now. I made it just the way
I want it and can add to it or change components as I need.
- A Polar M61 Heart Rate Monitor for exercise. When I use it regularly
I feel better, eat better, sleep better... etc. Of all my gadgets this
is the one that's most likely to add years to my life and life to my
years. I use it with a Carl Lewis Aerobic Rider. (Riders and Rowing
machines are the best, IMHO, most challenging - toughest - whole body
exercise yet the least chance of injury)
- Logitech Pocket Video 550. I use it to keep a video diary, and I
like it that much that I got another one, to keep aside and use when
my unit stops working, once I found out they got discontinued.
- Petzl Tikka Plus or Durastar Sunway LED headlights. I wear one of
these for reading and they're the best thing ever; focused and very
sufficient but evenly diffuse and soft light. In fact, I use them for
more than just reading; most of my activities at night in fact, since
something about harsh conventional lighting makes me jittery.
- Uniross sprint 1-2hrs charger, uniross 2300mAh AA batteries and
750mAh AAA batteries, got over a dozen of each. I made sure most of my
devices use AA or AAA batteries.

I consider that to be an essential utility rather than a gadget.
