The Flip recorder was canned by Cisco after buying the company. Cisco wanted some of their other video technology.
PDAs? I remember trying to get me a palm, but after getting the EVO....I couldn't see how having THAT and a Pam Pilot would help at all. AND the only people I remember carrying a beeper were drug dealers or doctors(who still do carry them around)
I still use half the things on your list. I particularly like my Sony reel-to-reel tape deck and my vinyls! In fact I just refurbished my record player...

Thought I was cool when I could transfer my business card to another Palm Pilot user...and sync with my equally cool notebook computer...
I still use a Walkman because I play the NYC public radio station all day. I don't want to be wired all day, so I have no smart phone. So I still use a calculator.
All recordings are inferior ghosts of a live performance. Except maybe for the wax cylinders......
