Fantasy Gadget List

I (like many geeks) have a fantasy-gadget list that I always have in my head - things that anyone can easily live without, but you’d buy instantly in a gluttonous consumer-therapy binge if you won the lottery tomorrow:

Here’s a snapshot of my list:

SkyPlus - a PVR that works with the UK’s digital broadcasting near-monopoly.
A Scanner with a Document Feeder - for easier Paper to PDF
A SpeedTrap Detector - for the car. The UK is riddled with Gatsos.
A DAB digital radio tuner for my computer - alas there is none that works with OS X (as far as I know.)
A SqueezeBox - Wireless Audio Streaming to normal Hi-Fi devices.
New head unit for my car - One that works with the Mini’s steering wheel controls and allows a connection to 1st Gen iPods.
Bluetooth Handsfree Kit for my car - my headset works, but is fiddly to get in the ear.
Optical In/Out for my G4 Server (which holds my music) - £70 seems a bit steep for a slight improvement in audio out.

a G5 of course!
