Single Purpose Devices

Camera, MP3 player, handheld gaming device, e-ink reader, note pad, vehicle GPS.

I've been on the lookout for gamified pedometers. Something like a Tamagotchi that grows up as you get steps in. Saw some old examples of this in Japan, but nothing in the US market yet. Any recommendations that aren't an app and don't need the internet?

Does anyone have a good device to replace the maps app on my phone? I know there are gps devices, but a lot of them seem hiking focused. are they good for daily navigation by car, bike, and walking?

I think this was made for me. I LOVE single purpose devices. My house is full of them. Im the person who cant throw away 5 old ipods because they serve a purpose. Or still use cds. Or have 12 game systems instead of 1 emulator because thats not the same.

I am super intrigued with this community and I want to help get it going. I'm tired of algorithms controlling what I see and listen to. I'm tired of distractions and ads.

I'm afraid, my post may not respect rule #2 as in reality it's a multi-purpose tool but one that can only single task too. Allow me to explain ;)

I bought a used point and shoot recently so that I could be more mindful to not only take pictures more often but also to take better quality pictures.
