Sx70
There's a great article over on MIT's Technology Review site about prominent industrial designers in the tech field and their all-time favorite gadgets. I'm very much in agreement with Frog Design's Andrew Logan on the Polaroid SX-70—I found one in a neighbor's junk pile a few years ago in perfect condition and have been loving its sweet leather-accented accordion folding ever since.

Check out the photo gallery for a few others. But more important, what's your favorite gadget of all time? The one that fills you with that unique form of satisfaction that only a piece of well-designed tech can give? Let us know in the comments below, and we'll throw together a gallery of our own. —John Mahoney
