I couldn't remember any, first?

[no name @ Jan 13th 2008 10:02AM]

I have to go with the spy cam aim for girl hopefully the thing does video. i could always place in a female co-workers hotel room.

[c.Lake @ Jan 13th 2008 5:45PM]

A hidden camera in the girls room? God, you are SO SAD, and 5 years old.

Why not try ACTUALLY meeting a girl, getting a girlfriend, and having sex. That way you can see a REAL naked girl in front of you, instead of ones on TV.

[Derry Quinn @ Jan 13th 2008 6:18AM]

Yay! First!

[noober @ Jan 14th 2008 9:34AM]

I hate you and your kind.

Go E-paper display actually paper!

[Godskitchen @ Jan 13th 2008 7:27AM]

Whats this "First" thing about?

[Derry Quinn @ Jan 13th 2008 8:59AM]

I usually hate people like that too, but then i saw the magic words: "0 Comments" and my life was transformed. I'm deeply sorry.

[dUc0N @ Jan 13th 2008 6:25AM]

Yeah, I'm thinking it's the 64MB Beer MP3 player.
- Who buys any kind of digital music player under a gig anymore?
- It's not ripping anything off directly, like 6, 15, or 16. That thing's crap all on its own.
- And it's not just generic junk like the keyboard and mouse combo... the item /itself/ was a bad idea.

[Bob @ Jan 13th 2008 6:45AM]

Why is the Janky-ass MP4 watch on this list? I would proudly wear this fine piece of nerd jewelry.

[Carbonize @ Jan 13th 2008 7:18AM]

It's not really a gadget but can I vote for the Engadget/Blogsmith blog commenting system since it's total crap?

Failing that the MP4 watch as that thing was a brick.

[computer.dude.28 @ Jan 13th 2008 12:44PM]

(5th attempt at replying, one comment didn't reply, the rest didn't reply either but I noticed before I hit add)

If you think this is crap head over to gizmodo, you can't even reply to people!
EDIT: But apparently you have to strangle your computer to get it to reply to anyone here anyway, I think I actually prefer gizmodo's system now. Much less frustration.

[snitch @ Jan 13th 2008 7:23AM]

Dude thank god CES is over, its really hard to just pick one as the best Crapgadget almost everything that was shown was mostly Junk, you Guys should just skip it next year, and leave CES for the New Bs, am pretty sure no one is goin to miss it

[Carbonize @ Jan 13th 2008 7:31AM]

And for the next pile of crap - Macworld!

[umijin @ Jan 13th 2008 7:36AM]

Gotta be the paper paper display...

[Mobius_1 @ Jan 13th 2008 8:38AM]

I can barely see the charts, more contrast please!

As for the vote, yeah the photo frame (or the lack of it), as in "what photo frame?"

[computer.dude.28 @ Jan 13th 2008 12:36PM]

Nevermind the charts. WHY are the links, and the poll choices in REVERSE ORDER from each other???

[skulldriveshaft @ Jan 14th 2008 2:18AM]

#18 was the only one that knew where to go :]

The others were misled :]

[skulldriveshaft @ Jan 14th 2008 2:20AM]

and then when you click VOTE

another dimension of PAIN!

[Can @ Jan 13th 2008 8:50AM]

I'd go for the non-existant frame.
At least they can get some attention literally without "anything".

[Galley @ Jan 13th 2008 9:13AM]

You simply can't go wrong with a slogan like "I love clean butt".

[Daniel @ Jan 13th 2008 10:04AM]

of course i also did like the beer mp3 player to bad it does not with a bottle opener.

[BrianB @ Jan 13th 2008 10:39AM]

So hard too choose. Engadget, we're only human!

[BrianB @ Jan 13th 2008 10:40AM]

All right. The Hello kitty with human debris looks fab.

[BrianB @ Jan 13th 2008 10:43AM]

Change my mind, the e-paper made of real paper is way funny. Makes Gizmodogate look like a childish prank (being sarcastic here).

[computer.dude.28 @ Jan 13th 2008 12:40PM]

You think this is crap head on over to gizmodo you can't even reply to people!!

[AwesomeEvs @ Jan 13th 2008 2:49PM]

I love being a pessimist as much as the next nerd but ...

Couldn't we vote for the best gadget ... just a thought.

[David Clark @ Jan 13th 2008 2:56PM]

Engadget should take the cake for the worst of CES. I was really disappointed to keep coming back for updates only to find a running list of admittedly crappy gadgets.

I think the entire staff was all too ready to head off to Macworld to do a half decent job. And this is typed with an iPR

[David Clark @ Jan 13th 2008 2:58PM]

iPT, even

[barb dybwad @ Jan 13th 2008 4:09PM]

737 CES posts and all you saw was crapgadget? really? i vote you "worst eyes"...

[Alexis @ Jan 13th 2008 4:56PM]

I agree, crap gadget is insulting and demeaning. Let's talk about the good stuff and let the less original guys improve their work.

[Jack Torse @ Jan 13th 2008 6:49PM]

Where's the HD-DVD option?

[Fargin Icehole @ Jan 14th 2008 1:01AM]

Pink purse

[Linh @ Jan 14th 2008 1:18PM]

If Apple makes their iMacs pink, would you still buy them?

[slaphappy @ Jan 14th 2008 10:32PM]

WHy isn't the rolly or polly or whatever the piece of crap from SONY not in the list????/ That is the worst gadget EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
