MobilePC Magazine recently compiled a list of the 100 Best Gadgets of All Time. The best gadgets EVER. Of course, some all time favorites made the list: Zippo lighters, Pez dispensers, Rubiks Cubes, remote controls, VCRs, Walkmans, Clappers, and Gameboys. Some inventions we no longer even think of as gadgets -- Swiss Army knives, wristwatches, and telephones -- made the list. The abacus came in at number 60. Even the LiteBrite and Etch-A-Sketch made the list. DVD players, cell phones so many gizmos that we just can't live without. The iPod made number 12 -- not a bad showing. But the big surprise. Number one, the best gadget of all time, is Apple's first PowerBook. Apple basically invented the modern laptop, and as far as MobilePC is concerned, that's the best gadget ever created. I'm tempted to agree.
