Atrocious. Unbearable. Mediocre. Bad. poor. There are a lot of adjectives and superlatives to go with it to describe gadgets that, in a nutshell, sucked. It is quite simple really. Some gadgets have it, others are just plain bad. Let us now take a look at those that really missed the point last year. For now, we focus on an MP3 player that was terrible.

The Coby MP-C7092 is quite misleading actually. It looks kind of a usable gadget. It does not strike us as something that is going to be off the shelves quickly but it seemed okay. People might actually like it. That is a big mistake. In fact, the only thing you could say that did not go wrong is the design.

First, teh sound quality. Try listening to a song, any song and you would only hear it from one side of the earphone. Yes, it has no stereo capability. Add to that the interface that was simply missing the point. It was complicated and lacked the basic necessities needed. They achieved that impossible feat. The volume control was also hard to configure. Avoid this, unless you are way too patient.
