The 2007 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Worst Gadget of the Year

It's time for the 2007 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the Worst Gadget of the Year.

Nominating is easy, simply leave a comment with what you're nominating for this category. We'll round up the best selections and put them to the popular vote.

Here's five simple rules of what NOT to do:

• Don't include your reasons for nominating it.
  You can debate the product later when we put it up to vote. Just leave the name of what you want to nominate, ok?
  
• Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2007.
  We will allow updated versions of previous devices, however.
  
• No concept devices or prototypes.
  It has to be a real gadget people can buy! Pre-orders don't count.
  
• Don't nominate anything more than once.
  It's not a popularity contest (yet), all it does is make our lives harder. Just do a quick find to see if someone's already beat you to it.
  
• Seriously, don't nominate anything that's already been nominated!

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!

seconded... again

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 26th 2007 1:13PM]

iPhone - n95 + touch equals better combo - leave the phone to the pro's =]

[Sholland91 Posted Dec 28th 2007 11:30AM]

the iPhone is awful

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 28th 2007 11:30AM]

definitely iphone... most overhyped, over-rated and over-advertised junkheap

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 28th 2007 9:15PM]

yup

[rav97 Posted Dec 30th 2007 3:24PM]

yes, it sucks

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 30th 2007 9:54PM]

So the Iphone will win best and worst gadget, best smartphone and best simple-phone awards?

I bet no-one would whine that engadget is apple fanboy.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 1st 2008 5:46PM]

agreed

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 2nd 2008 9:47AM]

I'm not sure what we got up to on the seconded and so on, but Iphone FTL!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:52PM]

easy. Windows Vista Gadgets

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 3:51PM]

uhh that's not a gadget

[AB Posted Dec 24th 2007 6:56PM]

vista gadgets it is

[electron Posted Dec 26th 2007 4:54PM]

to bad the entire OS is not a gadget

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 28th 2007 4:22AM]

It says worst gadget, well, the Vista gadgets are horrible failures. lol

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:53PM]

The stupid kindle too

[telepheedian Posted Dec 24th 2007 5:34PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 9:27PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 25th 2007 2:44AM]

Fouthed

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 28th 2007 3:12AM]

Agreed.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:54PM]

vista (technically wasn't released this year)

[JKooL Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:57PM]

Definitely agree, you could even specify the networking center in vista.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 3:25PM]

Vista.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 9:01PM]

2nd

[Brad Hubbard Posted Dec 25th 2007 4:14AM]

Okay, two things. First, if it wasn't released this year, don't be an idiot. Second, if you have an Apple logo as your icon, you don't get to vote on Vista anything else, as you've officially resigned your "not an Apple zealot" rights.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 25th 2007 5:22PM]

1) I don't have a apple icon,
2) I also think leopard sucked,
3) Vista was released to consumers this year, but it was RTM in November 2006

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 28th 2007 1:11PM]

Agreed, Vista should be allowed because consumers couldn't see how bad it sucked until January when it was released to retail

[Evan Tribley Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:55PM]

PC World

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 7:17PM]

PC World really does suck . . . too bad engadget doesn't have a category for "The Best Toilet Paper of 2007."

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 2:56PM]

Apple TV

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 9:47PM]

see, the only reason why microtards like you are saying Apple TV is because you want it to be a Apple product but as EVERY other Apple product is a runaway success the Apple TV is your best shot.........It is no where near the worst of the year. sorry.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 25th 2007 11:47AM]

even though i 10th'ded the iphone earlier he's right the appleTV is by far NOT the worst gadget of this year. Pity on you. Mr. Hater
