The 2009 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Worst Gadget of the Year

It's time for the 2009 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 2009.
  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!

Lack of significant update or innovation (cut and paste?, puuuhlease). I support the nomination.

[SomePerson Posted Jan 13th 2010 7:29PM]

iPhone for sure.

A product that took three years just to catch up to standard mobile needs is fail in my book.

[ienjoyeatingfeistychickens Posted Jan 13th 2010 8:00PM]

@One Love Exactly.

[PATRICKmcnicholl Posted Jan 13th 2010 8:08PM]

Wow, The iPhone revolutionised everything in mobiles and UI, and spawns Android and all you's can do is hate it with jealousy. Sad people you fanboys are

[Clorencejimyahoocom Posted Jan 13th 2010 8:56PM]

@PATRICKmcnicholl you can't jailbreak android, I am not jealous

@One Love high five

[CJ Posted Jan 14th 2010 6:05AM]

@PATRICKmcnicholl

Yes, but that iPhone was released in 2007.

It's now 2009, and the 3Gs is just the iPhone 3G with a faster processor.

And the iPhone 3G was just the iPhone with 3G.

And what's with the Apple hating here?

[xlaxplaya Posted Jan 13th 2010 6:10PM]

@Neotyguy40 The rules say nothing about when the gadget was first made. Stop trolling.

but the guy is still trolling - he obviously meant updated iPods

[PATRICKmcnicholl Posted Jan 13th 2010 8:21PM]
