If you won't let me use an actual transporter then I pick holo emitter.

Edit: I just realised what you mean by the portal holo emitter in which case I choose phaser. Your choices kinda suck though.
The emergency transport unit from Nemesis *IS* a functional transporter, the size of a big grape.

"It was designed to provide a single one-direction transport for one individual."

That isn't a proper transporter, that's a one time usage thing.

It transports you...

Also, why not replenish the power source and re-use?
That'd be the only problem.

As tempting as it might be, I'd rather not try to steal from this mysterious time traveler. The risk is too great that they'd be able to track me down and make me stand trial in the future or something.

I'm going with Dragon Ball Capsules. Handy little things, especially if you're moving or something.

I vote tricorder, not because I don't like weapons- I do, very much so. Not because I don't think that the PADD might have useful information, it might very well have schematics for a bloody warp core, then again it might not. Not for a whole lot of reasons. The tricorder however, has a sarium-krellide power cell just like the phaser so there's a whole new battery technology there. It has incredibly advanced microchips/circuitboards/whatever anaglog that would also be in a holo-emitter, and so it would revolutionize the computer industry. It has, however, such an advanced sensing suite built into it that it would totally revolutionize battlefield intelligence. New generations of troops with high-power rifles able to pinpoint barricaded targets in hidden positions, gunships kitted out with advanced sensors so that they can lock onto obscure bunkers and pummel away with armor-piercing weapons. Beyond even that the things that it looks for could help us to find new resources here on earth, tap into things we don't know exist yet, or at the very least, point us in the right direction to get them out in space.

I always found Lt. Barkley to be a bit of a tool though I'd hardly call him my "favorite". :p

I voted for the Tricorder as for such a little device (even in the TOS days where it was the size of a tape recorder) it could do damned-near anything.

...see also Doctor Who's Sonic Screwdriver [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_screwdriver].

That's quite a well tought decision, bravo! :)

I'll go with tricorder, although if those communication badges were on the poll, I might have picked them.

Who'd you communicate with? ;)
Altho, they are made from gold and platinum, hehehe :)

It's more the fact that they provide effective, instantaneous communication over really long distances* and don't require the user to constantly hold their communicator next to their head.

*In one episode of TNG (forget which; I'll need to scour my Nitpicker's Guide), the away team comm-badges the Enterprise while said ship is warping away from their location, implying they have a range of (at the very least) several million kilometers.
