Digital Devices I have owned

2011 Update: I'm retiring this page
When I started this page September 6, 1997, digital devices were unique. Digital voice-recorders were new. Digital cameras for the average person were new. MP3 audio players were new. Two brands of DVRs came out in 1999 and I bought both Tivo and Replay TV. The price of SLR Digital cameras came down to $5000 in 2000. The price for a digital SLR in 1999 was $10,000 and in 1998 it was $20,000 so it essentially was cut in half every year so in 2001 it would cost $2500. PDAs were also new back late 90s. Convergence was a big deal back then and it was predicted these different devices would merge into a single device and that's exactly want happened. The iPhone converged a wireless internet access PDA, digital camera for video and images, digital music player, digital voice recorder ... oh and a phone. So digital devices were a big deal back in 1997 but today they are common place and everything is a digital device so it makes this page moot but I'm leaving it up for historical purposes.
