What is this list? More like an Apple company timeline. How can you forget PC? How can you forget Television? A list without mention of TV is incomplete…

Born in 1973 I have owned a lot of these gadgets, not knowing, that they could be the most iconic gadgets in 2010. ;-)

The list is missing the Creative Zen which came out in 2000, a full year before the iPod. Creative pioneered the mp3 player and invented the GUI which Apple stole for use on the iPod and now Creative never gets any recognition

The mention of the Apple tablet is so stupid. It hasn’t even been released (if it exists)so it can’t be ‘iconic’, especially not of ‘all time’. That’s what makes this timeline completely cruddy, and more of a fangirl’s version, rather than reality.
I never even heard of Flo TV. If they’re going to put an iPhone, where’s the BlackBerry or RAZR? BluRay is hardly popular. Not a good list of choices at all.
