Put your n900 on vibrate and we'll PM you.

My all-time favourite technology gadget would have to be the Nixie Tube. Those vacuum tubes crammed with pieces of wire bent into the exact shape of each digit, waiting to be lit up with a warm orange glow.

Those beautifully-shaped digits, ushering in a future where digital devices would become ubiquitous but the digits would be degraded to seven straight segments.

The ultrasonic television remote control transmitter. No batteries or power needed in order to change channels or volume.

My original PSP "Phat", the first model. It's a fantastic device that I've had countless hours of fun with both thanks to some great games and some really magnificent homebrew. I installed custom firmware on it the day I got it (I think it was 3.03oe-c) and the themes, emulators (built in PSX emulator that works flawlessly with virtually all PSX games, full-speed SNES and Genesis emulation and a now decent N64 emulator), custom shells etc. makes it rank as my all-time number one technology gadget.

Mine is my Sony UX490. OMG love it. It has more appeal now that Sony has stopped making it...

The only thing pulling it back is the 1gig RAM...

Both of which are also great gadgets. I too hook up a USB sound card to my ASUS for both streaming and local playback via mpd. That ASUS can be had for $50 at newegg.

USB is my favorite technology to date, it allows even my most simplist gadgets to fornicate and reproduce beautiful music together.

Could you explain what it is you're doing with this? Looks interesting but I couldn't follow.

My favourite is still the Beep (BBC model B 32kb) computer -

The first platform for the space Game Elite (kind of a "game changer") Elite with Wireframe 3D graphics and 2 million different planets - all in 32KB Ram...

Built in Teletype (Text TV) graphics. High Res B/W - 720x480 i think.

The company behind the BBC - is actually one of the grandfathers of the ARM processors we all like so much. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Computers)
