    not the first gadget, but i remember having one of these when I was a kid.

    http://www.re-buy-cycle.co.uk/uploads/295/3.jpg

    It was a computerised bike, that eh, never ever worked. When I say never worked, I mean I never actually saw the thing operational. So it was a big bulky bike that got looks from every other lad in school, was a bitch to get up a hill and I'm fairly sure the folks got it free with a washing machine.
    :D:D
    They had to be a scam,I knew of 3 lads that had them and they did absolutely nothing either.

    I had a spaceship... actually it was just a cardboard box, but to me it was a spaceship.

    Surprised no one has mentioned a VCR.

    My personal favourite was a James Bond watch that played the James Bond Music. or a 128K PC that had to have a cassette tape attached to record or load programs.

    Great machine though. Wasn't that the one that killed off Sinclair?
