Actually, I spend more or less all my free income for gadgets.
Always have so.
As a child working as a paperboy to purchase books and comics. Did have about 5.000 books at the age of 14. (My mother did trash lots of them because all the closets had been bursting).
Later on it was CDs, then DVDs (about 1.000 I guess).
Partially it's still iTunes (about 1.000 movies and about 6.000 TV episodes). May seem a lot, but actually it's just constantly building up over the years.
And of course the usual PSP or NDS.
Problem only is, all of those gadgets are getting boring faster and faster.
My feeling is, most of the companies aim for getting cheaper and cheaper. So the quality permanently goes down, so goes the fun. iPad is a perfect example. Obviously it's been important to offer a basic entrance unit below $ 500.
BTW: If I compare my gadgets to what some spend for their car, my hobbies really are relatively cheap.
