What gadget would/will you buy right now if you had/have $500?

Anything gadgety... basically must be electronic and nifty 😛 Like a cell phone, PDA, new watch, mp3 player, etc.... My first post, lets see how it goes 😛 Hope no one has done this before.
 
Just picked up a whole new system, so pretty much all computer stuff is out of the question. An IPod, perhaps? Also, if the new jet sim Lo-Mac comes out in the next month or two, as it appears likely due to the increased media coverage and hints from the production staff of a demo coming out "soon", then I'd like to pick up Track-Ir to simulate head movement in the cockpit.
 
If I could find a PDA like the iPaq 2210/2215 with built in WiFi - I'd get that.

Otherwise there's really nothing out there that I don't already have.

Ditto. Even though I already have an S300, I could at least give the old one to my fiance.

Me too! So many great deals on that A70, but I really wanted something smaller. Ended up getting a Dimage Xt. I don't think I need the extra megapixels that the s400 gives you. Very nice camera though.
 
I'd buy a new TV.

If we have to go "gadgety", I'd probably go for a nicer digicam. Or maybe a Pronto remote, those things are cool but I could never justify the price normally.

Also, that Lite-On DVD player with DivX capabilities looks pretty interesting.
 
Rototiller. Sorry it's not a small electronic gadget. I don't want any small electronic gadgets now that I've gotten a nice digital camera as a gift.

Link? That sounds interesting. Support for 5.05? Upgradable firmware? Audio options?

I can sell you a brand new Canon S400 for $100 less than retail shipped FedEx Ground.
 
A second IBM 7200RPM 100ATA 100GB hardrive, to raid with my first.

Then probably I'd save up for two LCD low millisecond monitors.
 
A new car stereo mp3 deck with sattelite radio built in

Do they even make these or are you required to be a separate tuner, as well as an antenna?
