From Homotron: Wii Makes Consumers Happier Than iPod
UK tech site Gadget Helpline has put up the results of a survey of 2,500 customers to find out "what gadget makes you the happiest." Nintendo's Wii came out on top, followed by the iPod and iPhone 3G, then by the Xbox 360, Blackberry, the UK's Sky+, MacBook, Nintendo DS, Tom Tom 930, and the Sony PRS-505 Reader.
Now, this list would read differently stateside (it wouldn't include Sky+, at the very least), but with five million UK households owning a Wii it isn't surprising to see the Wii at or near the top of the list. I did expect to see Sony somewhere on a top 10 list of gadgets, but the PRS-505 eBook reader isn't the gadget I thought I'd see.
What device, gaming or otherwise, makes you happiest? I suppose I'd say my iPhone 3G, since it does so many things for me and that makes me happy. It wouldn't be any of my game consoles, because although they do make me happy they don't make my life any easier, and functionality is my biggest criterion for device happiness. Maybe the old PC, then, which does more than a phone and a game console put together. Boring, I know, but tiny-happy-making nevertheless.

Other stuff like this: happiness, ipod, wii
It would be a close contest...but my Amazon Kindle and my Playstation 3 would probably tie for device that most makes me happy.
Super-easy for me. Tie between my iPhone 3G and my TiVo HD. One's on-the-go, one's home, but both are indispensible.
It's gotta be 3g iPhone
Who wouldn't be much happier with Wii? You get to exercise and be entertained at the same time.
