We've asked a few of our favorite gadget fanatics to contribute a list of their favorite gadgets from the past year. More gadget lists, including my picks of the year, are on their way. If you'd like to contribute your own list, email it to me at peter@gizmodo.com, and we'll try and post it.

I'm not sure if it counts as a 'gadget' — but the Korg Micro-Korg synthesizer/vocoder rules. It's cheap ($399.95), runs off AC power or AA batteries, and has absolutely great analog synth sounds and a vocoder. It serves as a MIDI controller, and it'll just about fit in a briefcase, so with it and a laptop you're good to go.

Also, this air-pump wine saver really works, and it's good for me since
otherwise undrunk wine would go to waste.

Fred Wilson - Flatiron Partners

Motorola V60g Cell Phone - For making calls and SMS messaging with my daughter (who uses a Nokia 3390).

Blackberry RIM 957 - For doing everything other than making phone calls while I am on the move.

IBM Thinkpad T Series with integrated WiFi - For working anywhere in my home or office.

Audio Request Fusion Digital Music Server - For listening to digital music anywhere in my home.

Apple iPod - For listening to music on the road

Scott Heiferman - MeetUp

Sony DSC-U20 — awesome

iPod 20GB

Cole Haan Air.Taos - Nike bought Cole Haan, these "dress shoes" are as comfortable as sneakers — now that's technology.

Good old Blackberry + Nokia beats Treo or Hiptop for me.

Jonesing for my TiVo to be net-connected — my officemate has this.

And wishing it existed: a stereo component that stores MP3s with a display remote.
