Top 5 products you can't live without
On the latest episode of Top 5, I count down the top 5 gadgets I could not live without.
It's safe to say you may have a different opinion. So watch our video, formulate your own set, and post them in the comments to this blog post.
Think of it as desert island gadgets. As I note in the video, we'll assume you have electricity and Internet service on this swanky futuristic deserted island. And no software, just hardware. What five things would you choose for this presumably self-inflicted exile?
When we get enough responses, I'll tabulate them and count down YOUR overall top five.

Here are my top 5 gadgets in no particular order:
1) My laptop.
2) My iPod Touch.
3) My Platronics headset.
4) My external hard drives.
5) My headphones.
2) My laptop
3) My Bose ear buds
4) My blue tooth headset
5) My Sprint internet card
2) Bose on-ear headphones
3) Eye-Fi wireless SD card
4) my notebook computer
5) my Navigon GPS
2) Laptop (or netbook)
3) Leatherman (not the highest of tech, I know, but it is a real life saver)
4) Media center PC connected to my living room TV
5) Ultimate ears super fi earphones (although now I am craving something with a microphone for answering calls)
2) Env2 (cause I know AT&T can't manage 3G in Metro areas much less on a remote island)
3) Nikon D40
4) 32" Wide Screen HDTV
5) Slingbox
2. Cable DVR. Watch while replying on Blackberry. Pause when I need to make a call.
3. Microwave oven. From hot pockets to hot links - this is the defining gadget of home appliances.
4. Asus eeePC. Low power, does everything I need to in a pinch.
5. The media center PC. Takes place of at least 5 other gadgets. Except #3
Soo...
1. iPhone. If only Apple would finally implement MMS and video, it would be an ideal gadget.
2. MSI Wind. I don't have one, but maaan that would be nice out there on that island. As long as that swanky island has Wifi.
3. Microwave oven. I agree. That is the best invention since bubble wrap.
4. Big screen TV.
5. Not really a gadget, but maybe a volleyball. You know, in case I need a friend.
2. iPhone
3. TiVo (order Dominos on a desert island!)
4. 42" LCD (can double as monitor for WOW hotness)
Honestly, only those 4 that would make me happy.
2.) Media Center PC
3.) Microsoft XBOX 360
4.) DirecTv Plus DVR
5.) GM OnStar
Sorry. Didn't mean to criticize.

2. Notebook/laptop (mine's a MacBook)
