But it is still not in the top 100 best gadgets ever

Hey it has not been around that long either. Mobile PC did a piece on the the top 100.

My favorite is
64. U.S. ARMY P-38 CAN OPENER, 1942
Who says the government can't make good products?

And the number 1 lest you are dieing to know

"1. APPLE POWERBOOK 100, 1991
Never mind the Apple versus PC debate: Until Apple unveiled this 5.1-pound machine, most "portable" computers were curiosities for technophiles with superior upper-body strength. But the PowerBook 100's greatest and most lasting innovation was to move the keyboard toward the screen, leaving natural wrist rests up front, as well as providing an obvious place for a trackball. It seems like the natural layout now, but that's because the entire industry aped Apple within months. The first PowerBooks captured an astounding 40 percent of the market, but more important, they turned notebook computers into mainstream products and ushered in the era of mobile computing that we're still living in today."

This qualifies as my "unwarrented dig at Microsoft of the day" submission. So ya'll have a nice day I have OBSCENE PROFITS to make today.
