Worst Gear of the Year: 2010

It may have been a year where we gawked at the shining glowing glow of the iPad, or swooned at the Jawbone Jambox, or sat amazed by a slew of handy Android handsets that blew away the iPhone in some key areas.

But a lot of the gadgets we reviewed this year just plain sucked. Some were atrocious train wrecks, hurriedly pushed out by companies looking to bring a product to market before it was ready. Others were just ill-conceived pieces of garbage that, for whatever reason, slipped past the quality-control department and made it onto store shelves.

These are the 10 absolute most hideous pieces of crap to have crossed the review desk in 2010. Sure, some came out in previous years, some were released last month, but they all made our stomachs churn. You've seen the best, now brace yourself for a suck-fest.

Fusion Garage JooJoo Tablet

Twice the weight of an iPad with half the usability and an interface buggier than bucket full of cockroaches. And no access to apps. And a $500 price tag. No 3G connectivity, Google Talk or Adobe PDF reader. POP3 e-mail? Support for Microsoft exchange? Keep dreaming. A battery that conks out after only a few hours of use. All this can be yours for the low, low price of $500. We wish the JooJoo were just a bad joke with no punch line. Sadly it was a real thing and the absolute worst gadget of 2010.
