PC Mag's "Not So Top 10" gadget list

Alexander Turcic · 12-06-2004, 06:04 AM

PC Magazine has come out with a list of "two handfuls of devices to avoid at any cost this holiday season, culled from the worst-scoring products we tested this year."

Among the list you find the "fundamentally flawed iPAQ rz1715", which "lacks any of the redeeming qualities" of Dell or Palm's low-end PDAs.

I leave it up to you if you agree with their assessment or not

Unfortunately, from what I've seen of the devices specs, and read in several reviews, I have to agree with the list's assessment. HP seriously dropped the ball with the release of the rz1715, and it will hurt them. I don't know what they were thinking...
