no batteries required and will surly last longer than i. i'll also get to leave behind disturbing images of my island life.
Flux Capacitor for the obvious reasons!
On a desert island, I would want a katadyn survivor 06 hand-powered desalinator so at least I had some drinking water.
Instant read wireless meat thermometer with extra batteries! So I can still BBQ some awesome fresh caught animals!
My Toshiba Thrive...I could use Skype to call for help, plus check for bargains on Bensbargains until it got there. (How's that for a suck-up answer?)
wait, I'll take the starship enterprise for their replicators and transporters

Whether I was tranded on a desert island or vacationing at home, I would wish for a navigation device like a Magellan or a Tom-Tom. I can get lost just going frm my house to the grocery store.I have absolutly NO sense of direction.

ooh, a chance to get a Best Buy gift card? With my luck and experience with BB they will decline it or find a reason to claim i made some error. Not worth the effort. I will pass. (FU Best Buy).
I think I'd want some sort of satellite phone running off solar power so I could call for help and get off of the island.
an ipad for sure. if I can make the best of it, at least a few hours of gaming, movie watching, etc. heck, with its multipurpose use, it could event help make some shade when its juice is out.
I would love a guitar with a built in guitar tuner to make sure I get it right every time!
An Apple
and ibook
Ice maker!!
Stun gun, the island wasn't really deserted.
