What one or more gadgets have you bought you wouldn't want to be without.
One of mine is an LED wind up torch, I bought a set of 3 from QVC about 5 years ago and they've been so useful and reliable. I keep one in the bedside cabinet, one in the car and one in this office room. The other night there was a sudden power cut so the house was suddenly plunged into darkness. I was on the pc at the time replying to an email - which I lost 
- so I took the torch from the desk drawer to find the candles. I didn't have to wonder would the torch work as I don't have to rely on batteries like in the past with torches and when you suddenly need them the batteries are dead and there's no spares.
What's your favourite gadgets

TV remote
And erm . . . is a car a gadget?
I love driving - it has taken me to places, gained me jobs, given me experiences i could never have otherwise had. It's given me a richer fuller life.

Would agree with that, without one I couldn't watch tv 
I don't like driving but it's certainly useful to be able to do so 
And my iPod . . . well i have a Sony Flash Player - it has loads of music on it and i actually know how to use it !!!
A pocket digital radio which is always at hand and I wouldn't be without... even listen to it to get to sleep at night.
Also tempted to say my laptop and netbook - they're literally my window on the world. That and the mp3 to download Irish radio podcasts onto to keep homesickness at bay.
Less high tech is a little multi tool thingy I got from Asda last year - teeny scissors, screwdriver etc which is dead handy for footery little jobs round the place 
Jeez I'm more gadget-reliant than I thought 
I agree with the wind up torch YR ...I have one too ...and my grandson uses his to read under the bedclothes 
And the thought of having to actually get up to change TV channels is Could I put my iPhone into the mix please , as it's my photo album , record player , letter rack ..oh and communication device

how did we cope before that
I love my iPod Touch. Being a regular listener to music both old, new and recently discovered I find this device to be worth it's weight in gold or latinum (which ever is of greater value).
No matter where I am I have masses of music (or Podcasts) to listen to.
Also I love my 46" LED TV and Blu-ray player. Again films play a big part in my leisure activities and HD films look great.
Steam iron. Takes a lot of the effort out of ironing, tackles those pesky creases in a jiffy.
