Top answer
A gadget maker is one who makes gadgets -- useful little tools, sometimes electronic, sometimes not, most often small enough to fit in your hand. These are usually designed to do some strange little task, like pitting cherries, or measuring the distance from the floor to the ceiling, or massaging your feet, or cleaning your computer keyboard.

It usually means a small mechanical tool useful for a particular purpose, often rather pointless - in the kitchen a hand-held blender is a gadget; on your desk an electronic letter-opener is a gadget; in your bedroom, a flying alarm clock is a gadget.
It is not restricted to software or electronic products, though some people may regard iPods or mobile phones as gadgets.
