Mobile PC has a list of their favorite gadgets of all time.
Remember Ron Popeil and the Popeil Pocket Fisherman commercials? The Pocket Fisherman is #92 and is still being manufactured.
The Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 is #87.
Hasbro Lite-Brite is #77.
Mattel Magic 8-Ball is #57.
Etch-a-Sketch is #50.
Nintendo Game Boy is #25.
And their choice for #1 is the Apple Powerbook 100. (The Powerbook 500 was #22.)
This isn't a gadget (no moving parts) but it appeals to the sick, twisted part of my personality.
