    The top 100 gadgets of all time

    Mobile PC Magazine reveals its top 100 gadgets.

    The Rubik Cube is placed a lowly 89, the abacus at 60, the Newton at 39, the JVC Camcorder at 37, the telephone at 23, the Swiss army knife at 20, the IBM ThinkPad at 19, the iPod at 12, the Motorola Startac at 4, the Sony Walkman at 3 ... the Apple PowerBook is the best gadget of all time!

    Of course, I obviously dont agree with many of the selections. I'd think the #1 slot should be taken up by a gadget which has changed the way people work and live. I'd put the telephone at that slot.
