Top 12 Most Hideous Gadgets

by Evan Shamoon, posted May 17th 2007 at 8:32AM

Beautifully designed products such as the iMac and RAZR are the supermodels of the tech world, but plenty of ugly duckling gadgets have graced store shelves in recent years, too, and CrunchGear has found the most hideous ones. The site lists 12 eye-offending, sometimes impractical gadgets, including such obvious design travesties as Nokia's floptacular N-Gage (or, is that a ChocoTaco?), along with more obscure objects of repulsion like the Indicatear ("Hey, wouldn't it be great if your head had built-in turn signals?").

All in all an entertaining read, if only to offend your inner Apple fanboy at the very end.

AOL is going down the tubes and I am getting really close to dumping my account after 15 years. Links that go nowhere or to the wrong article, ads that block articles and won't go away or suck up so much bandwith to load that you have to wait a full minute to read the article you clicked on. It's really getting to be TOO much.
