Tech turkeys: Apple and Google dominate the year's menu of failures
In the spirit of Festivus here is our full list of the worst technology products and services of the year.
It may not use the latest and greatest processor, but HP's iPAQ H1910 is the first Pocket PC we've seen that truly rivals the form factor of the Palm V. There's other good news to report about this compact unit, which is barely larger than its screen: it's relatively inexpensive; it boasts a sharp, bright screen; and it has a removable battery. On the downside, however, we're a little miffed that this iPAQ's headphone jack is not the standard size, which means that you can't use your favourite headphones with the device without buying an adapter. Also, no protective cover is included. If you can forgive those small shortcomings, this is a slick handheld that should appeal those who value form over performance.
