Ten years ago, The Gadget Show named the 20 greatest gadgets of all time — but does the list still hold up in 2026? Jason, Suzi, Ortis and Jon revisit the classics, from the Nintendo Wii and Kindle to the Walkman, iPhone and ZX Spectrum, and argue over what stays, what goes, and what truly deserves the top spot.
