    but if you had to choose one gadget to recommend what would it be and why?

    Yes, i ended up getting sat nav and a denison ice link for my ipod to my VW Golf.

    But keep posting ideas! there seems to be alot of fun to be had around the £150 mark. Might be an interesting thread to keep alive

    I have a GP2X, a fun gadget. Currently loaded with a few albums of MP3, Quake and an episode of Dr Who. Just wish I had time to play with it as a programmer.

    Best gadget I ever bought was the TiVo. One of the greatest tragedies in the UK is that they never took off, so now only available on ebay as second hand.
