This is another gadget on my daily use list, sound is impressive for something so small, It even handles drum'n'bass so I have no complaints about it.
Reviving yet another old thread here but I got one almost identical to these for xmas and it's brilliant. I use it on my iphone and my bedroom joggler. I'm no audiophile but this is perfect for my simple and portable needs. Who knew something so tiny and cute could provide a decent sound. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ok I'm in the group :D
Don't forget for example: Nokia N800 (I sold my N900), Openmoko GTA02, OQO 01+, a lot of stuff I'm going to sell.. I'm sorry to leave all these devices in a drawer and never use them :(

My first obsession with gadgets started with one of these Ataris when I was about 7 a friend got one and I was hooked, couldn't wait to go around his house for a game of space invaders.
Never did get one myself (one day lol)but shortly afterwards got a ZX81 and loved that thing :-)

Still have a fully working sega mastersystem with space invaders on it (not quite the traditional one you loved) but if we ever decide to part with it, hawsey, I'll give you first dibs! ;)

Ha ha cheers m8 :-) someone was selling a 2600 wood which is what the Atari in the pic is called at my wife's work just before Christmas but I was pipped at the post.
I have plans to board out the loft and have all my retired gadgets resurrected one day tho.....

I have Sinclair regret... I had a Speccy 48K+, the one with the proper keyboard. I swapped it for a CB radio. WTF was I thinking?

In amongst the detritus I have packed away is a Nintento SNES, which I really should have brought with me to my dad's house to keep me entertained. It's modded to play US & Japanese games with a slot adapter and a switch on the back to output a PAL signal with foreign games. I used to be pretty awesome at Mario Kart.

Haha I remember the great war between Sinclair and Commodore users... years later was between Amiga and Atari users :D
I think most of you are in the UK so the great ZX is very familiar (and I say that with my absolute respect for it, I had it too!!!)

I was an Acorn user; I'm not sure there was ever a direct clash between one other platform - it was pretty much RISC OS against the world! ;)

It runs like a rocket on the Raspberry Pi. Just a shame I can't find anything I want to run on it... Except for Stunt Racer 2000. That was an awesome game.

...aaaannd back on topic with tiny gadgets is my usb mini mouse. It's tiny so takes up hardly any space and has a retractable lead (which winds round the inside of the circular bit just below the usb end) so no messy cables. It's attached to my kitchen joggler which runs xbmc os and I use this dinky little love all the time. I'm so taken with it I've been meaning to buy another.

I use a cheap bluetooth mouse that works brilliantly with BuZz's distros. I haven't tried it with the new XBMC OS.
