![Question](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
As title, but no car ones as I have access to most of these through work, just wanted to know as I am a gadget freak and would like to hear from people that have them and what they think of them.
Love techy things but dont understand lots of them
Got to be "idiot proof" for users.

A pointless hand held organiser, made useful with a built in GPS receiver. With TomTom software installed on the PDA you have a slim 'satnav'. HTPC stands for Home Theatre PC. Its a PC used as a digital video recorder; DVD player and MP3 jukebox, connected to a 40" LCD television (thats the theory anyway).

Not really a gadget, but being able to set my Sky+ box to record programmes from my mobile phone is really cool, or at least I think it is...

I haven't acually got any gadgets which is strange becuase I'm a bit of magpie when it comes to shiny things that I probably could live without.
PS2 - haven't touched in 12 months
PSP - Got bored playing games. Useful for watching **** in bed but obselete once I worked out how to put my collection on DVD.
PC isn't really a gadget but I do have bouts of game time on it.
Got to say our travel case full of adult gadgets is probably favorite

The Best:
Pronto Remote. Best thing I ever bought - been abosolutely flawless and I havent seen an original remotes in years.
Close:
Xbox + XBMC. A fine fine media player. Plays all my DVDs/DivX/MP3 from central server. (Needs remote-on though and I cant be bothered to do the IR mod)
I-Mate K-Jam with GPS dongle. Needs to crash less often but I love having TomTom with me when I need it.
Remote Controlled lights + Heating (combination of custom wiring + X10 + Other bits). Surprisingly high wife enthusiasm factor for being able to control the hetaing/hot water from the lounge by remote control.
