There are a lot of shitty things being sold out there, but sometimes a certain item will go above and beyond the call of duty by being incredibly poorly designed and thought out. In this thread, lets talk about the worst products ever.

My vote:

The Gizmondo

The Gizmondo was a Tiger Telematics-made Windows CE-based handheld gaming system that was made to compete with the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. For a $230, you got a built-in gyroscopic sensor, GPS, text messaging, and a VGA camera. Sounds like a ton of awesome features, right?
Only, the gyroscope was never used.
Oh, and you have to pay a fee every time you use the GPS. And you probably already have a phone that sends text messages just fine.
And the camera? It didn't really work.

But the real kicker? The system actually came pre-installed with adware. Every time that you boot up a game, you are forced to watch an advertisement. Don't worry, though, if you don't want to watch ads whenever you play a game or turn on the unit, you can choose to pay $400 (enough for both a DS and a PSP) for an ad-free version.

Oh, did I mention that the device was also hideous, cheap looking, and awkward to hold?

Need I say more?
If you're up for a refreshingly wild spin on drama, come try out a new quest: A Matter of Pride ~ The Life of a Lion

Yeah...but that was technological progression, not a bad product. At the time we didn't have the future foresight to see the cool computers we have now, so we never thought it was a bad product. It was just a step in the right direction. :confused:
