What Was Your Best Gadget Purchase This Year?
The year is winding down and the time for reflection is on us once again. I like to end the year by thinking back on all the gadgets I purchased (far too many) and designating one as the best one of the lot. This year determining which was the best was easier than usual, due to the game-breaking nature of the selected gadget. I should be no surprise that my best gadget purchase this year was the MiFi. This little 3G modem/ Wi-Fi router literally changed the way I use mobile broadband for the better, and it is still a magical device for me.
So how about you? What was your very best gadget purchase this year, and why do you feel it is the best? I am interested to hear about your gadgets and why that one special device was the best. Let’s talk gadgets for a bit, it’s always fun. :)

I gotta go with my Macbook Pro 13 inch — 7 hours of battery life (even it if it is a fixed battery, that’s plenty for me), great keyboard, solid construction. I’ll throw in my AppleSac sleeve and Crumpler Considerable Embarassment bag as a part of the ‘gadget package’.
I’ll second that.

I do a lot of presenting and really enjoyed using Papershow which allows me to write on paper and have it projected to my audience. I can then save my handwritten notes as a PDF file and email it to my participants.
