Perhaps you missed number 12
12. APPLE IPOD, 2001
It wasn't the first hard-drive audio player, it was expensive, and it worked only with Macintosh computers. But the original iPod cracked the portable audio market wide open with its ease of use and to-die-for aesthetics. Some estimates peg Apple as now claiming an astounding 92 percent of the mobile audio market.

Cute list, way to heavily favored towards recent products. I'd think the abacus was a bit more important a gadget than say, the palm pilot, not to mention things like the wheel or the printing press.
