i think it depends on how obsessed you are with the gadgets and how useful they are and what stage in the development cycle the gadget is

for example - i bought an mp3 player in 1999 - relatively complicated to work and small memory - so that's geeky

but someone buying an ipod today -not geeky at all

same applies to netbooks - i got the original eeePC back in February 08 - small screen, not enough memory and linux OS - that's geeky

but buying one of the proper ones now with XP and 80GB etc - very useful machine that

i am very excited about the iphone i am getting soon though!!!

PS this is the worse sales pitch ever but I am looking to sell my eee 701 - apart from the faults above it is still a cool machine - so tiny! - especially if you can work linux - i can't be arsed -I'd take €150 (bought for €320)
