50 Greatest Gadgets From Walkman to Tivo to the Motorola StarTac, this list covers them all.  Some of their choices seem more trendy than anything else (the list’s members were voted there by readers), but it’s still neat to check out the roots of some of our favorite devices today.  Check and see if your favorite old-time gizmo is on the list at: http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,123950,00.asp

The devices had to be relatively small (no cars or big-screen TVs, for example), and we considered only those items whose digital descendants are covered in PC World (cameras, yes; blenders, no). We rated each gadget on its usefulness, design, degree of innovation, and influence on subsequent gadgets, as well as the ineffable quality we called the ‘cool factor.’ Then we tallied the results."
