Worst Tech Products of the Year (So Far)
July 2nd, 2010 by Mark Spoonauer, LAPTOP Editor in Chief With July just beginning we’ve reached the midway point of 2010 (yes, already), which makes it a good time to take a step back and look at the gear that didn’t make the grade. Perhaps that’s putting it too lightly. This is the stuff that really stunk, the mobile tech we wouldn’t recommend to an enemy. So without further ado…
Flip SlideHD
How could something that takes great-looking high-def footage get such a poor rating? Easy. The Slide HD has a bulky design and confusing interface that involves both a touchscreen and a touch strip beneath the display, which does things a touchscreen should do. This from a company that has built its reputation on easy-to-use products. Add in a sky-high price of $279 and you have a clunker of a camcorder.
