Oh, and one more -- one of my favorite gadgets was one that uses no electricity. It's called Owl, I think. It's a camera-shaped shell that goes around your iPhone so you can HOLD the damn thing when taking pictures, like you would a camera. Just a hunk of metal, but Greg Harper said it really does improve your cellphone photography.
It speaks to the biggest problem I've had with consumer devices of all types -- everything is so smooth and rounded now that I find I can't hold onto anything. It's true of my Blackberry. (I'm amazed how many falls onto concrete that thing has survived.) It's true of my landline phone, even.
