What gadget is at the top of your wish list?
Don't have an iPhone yet? Or maybe you're ready for that flat-panel TV? What piece of circuitry and plastic will make your life better and why?

I'd like to answer this with "a teleporter" but I'm going to assume that the question was written to focus on currently-available technology. And honestly, now that I think about it, I'm not sure what I'd like to have. I don't need an iPhone, because I already have an iPod Touch and I can get by with that. I don't need a Blackberry Storm, because I already have a Blackberry Curve and I can get by with that too. In fact, the two together are pretty much all I need in the way of mobile computing. I'm happy with a regular TV, so I don't need that. I'd really like a hybrid car, but I wouldn't consider that a gadget.



I think I'm going to have to say a Macbook Pro. My reason is that it is the most sophisticated computer out there today: it can run Windows. You can't really run a Mac on a Windows machine, but you can run Windows on a Mac using the various virtual boxes and emulators and parallel things and whatsits. Add in all the fabulous things that Macs do just because they are Macs, and I'd be a pretty happy camper. It has to be a Pro, though – I want it to have more RAM and drive space and so forth than I have now. I want a really powerful computer!



Yup, I'd like to have a Macbook Pro. Only $2600 with the student discount!
