Informal poll: Worst Apple product design?

The bargain hunters at Dealmac
are duking it out over which of Apple's notoriously well-designed products qualifies as the worst design to date.

The original iMac's hockey puck mouse comes to mind. But it might not be the worst. Take the Blue Dalmatian iMac, for example. What on earth were they thinking? And the
insides of the Dual USB iBook? No one, including a certified AppleCare Technician, should ever have to remove 50 screws just to
replace a hard drive.

Then again, there are some who would say that the widely lauded iPod shuffle is an eyesore and the Mac mini reminiscent of an external hard drive from 1999. [aside: Mr.
O'Grady certainly has a flair for getting Apple's attention, doesn't he?]

On a similar note, MLagazine featured their list of the 

Top 10 Apple failures
(irregardless of design) a few months ago, with the oft-forgotten
Pippin topping the list, but
my beloved Cube thankfully spared further scorn.
