£150 to spend in a 'gadget' - what do you recommend?

[colincliff]

So i just got a new job and to celebrate i fancy buying a new 'gadget' of some sort and i've got around £150 to spend.

I wasn't thinking of pc upgrades, and it not quite enough for a psp, but anything else is worth considering!

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

[BenW]

It would be something audio for me. Either a stereo component or a car stereo upgrade.

Or a new phone?

I tend not to buy gadgets unless i will actually use them!

If you can find another £30 (they have been around for £180 some places) get yourself a Squeezebox 3

I agree with Agent. Those lasers look awesome. I'm considering one myself. Especially one that can supposedly help heal cuts (just as a gimmick). Home cateracts removal anyone?

[Agent]

To be honest, the site doesnt do them justice. The range of them is just shocking.
Foggy night + greeen laser = fun

If you a bit geeky (like the best of us), how about one of these? http://www.gp2x.co.uk/

I've got a fairly powerful green laser, you don't need a foggy night, any night will do. It is incredible seeing this thin beam that goes 4 or 5 miles up. I've also found that if you can see the dot they make on buildings etc incredible distances away.

am liking the gp2x and Squeeze box ideas!

... but the lasers.... possibly the coolest way to light someones cigarette when they ask for a light!

I yeah, i know that. Its very easy to see in normal light. Just looks impressive in fog !
