We had the feeling that it was going to be tough for Fugly Designs as many people are starting to do good work. However the famous Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) proved us wrong!

A jet engine in your ear?

Stack a few and I’ll have a wall.

Alien egg?

Animals as themes dont replace the real thing.

Same here…

Ah…I’m not going to even say anything…
The Winner…

I’m still trying to figure out what the hell is that!

This new Wallet MP3 Player thin factor is hampered by the extra little USB to mini-jack adapter that’s required to get any sound out of this thing, and of course the lack of a screen or tactile buttons makes life a little bit? miserable for the too happy people in the street who needs a dose of lives problems to keep them in their stride…? And they claim its for tradeshow giveaways with brands and adverts printed on it… still miserable…

Some one has to tell BenQ that it takes more than a sleek design to beat apple.

You need to work on the product branding and logo too? Looks like it has an identity crisis perhaps it wants to be a Harley-Davidson?

This looks like a puppy coss between a Sony Albio and a Logitech Webcam, anybody want one? What will they think off next?

The reason why these products exist, the reason why lookalike exist, is because the world is ignorant? That they did not know that an original product of a different purpose exist? That they thought this is from Sony? That the profiteer thinks that people are stupid? That the designer is not creative enough? What the FUG?

The InVoca 3.0 Voice-Activated IR Remote can learn voices of up to four different users, and uses 25 single word commands and an equal number of multi-step commands that to control your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable box, satellite receiver, even your entire home theater system, up to four different devices.
Sounding like such a good idea but looking like a bad idea. Do you know why industrial design was created? To create more jobs of course, but these designers are not useless, and are? infact? a bunch of qualified plastic surgeons. You need them to create a million sales, not just a thousand and then? declare that its a failed product and that people are not ready for new technology… YOU HEAR ME?!? Stop thinking with your ass! Hire ID for better asses and boobs!

Dopod’s original creator was HTC which did a very good job of sourcing out the design works and selling the first few products to whoever wanna put their names on it in return for? HTC having the manufacturing rights (think O2).? But as HTC starts creating more variations to the original design… something went cling! and a nut fell loose. The creation of Dopod came from the success of HTC’s high quality design and products but along the way, there seems to be cross breeding or bad nutriention… did they have sex with palm Vx? did they have extra marital affair with moto Q? Do they come from the same father? Is this the result of mix race marriage?

It is gadgets like this that makes our life easier to handle, one speaker, many uses. But then why is it there ain’t many to choose from in the stores? Well, one reason… because its not going to be nice! It just that simple. A PSP with its refined cuts and edge just isn’t gonna blend well with a half sphere with 3 pimples… actually the 3 pimples can’t go with any of the names stated on the adaptors… Try again…

Microsoft??™s four-in-one Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, an ergonomic Bluetooth laser mouse, also functions as a slide presenter, a laser pointer, digital ink device and a media remote control… uhmmm thats five… promising with a six pack… but lacks the look.
Lesson of the day: If you want to build up a nice looking body, look for a professional trainer…

In a world where manufacturers compete to outdo each other in coming out with beautiful designs, sometimes somewhere in the lab, the designer or the marketing guy had a brain hemorrhage and? decides to see if people still buys fuglies… and digital cameras are a very good example of big plasticky chunky monkey? giveaways that goes to the storeroom museum… The Canon PowerShot A70, Sea Life DC500, Polaroid PDC-5080, Pentax Optio E10,? BenQ DC600? and many many more… Just go to any hyper or megastores and you get to see and hopefully avoid them.. or buy them for someone you hate…

This halloween, go have a ghost haunting night out with your kids and have a campfire with hot chocolate and mashmallows… and get this three pronged stainless steel hand-held rotisserie that revolves as you hold it over the bonfire for perfect toasted marshmallows.
Some people just have a need to invent a gadget just for the sake of inventing… What the hell do you need a three pronged Electric Marshmallow Toaster??? It probably only good for pocking some squirrels…

GQ Taiwan and Microsoft got 10 artists to create custom Xbox 360s, which are being auctioned off on Yahoo Taiwan, with the proceeds going to benefit World Vision Charity. One of the concept call SkinBox, from American artist Honest is built to look like a living thing, in the middle of digesting that “snack” you can see glued to the side of the 360.
Eeeewww… the guy must have did it last minute, fell asleep and dropped his mouldy bread on the? smeared superglue…? thats honesty for you.

During my daily scanning of Engadget, what do I see? Posts and posts of electronics all in either boring shiny black or in boring shiny white, or a combination of both…

Are’nt designers suppose to be creative? Can’t designers come up with some nicer colors and finishing? A nice deep burgandy for example…sheeze.

Ok, there are size zero, but then there are super-sized-me too… how much do you eat before you kill yourself.
Gigabyte, the company that makes motherboards, gets bored and launched g-Smart i200 PDA-phone. Slated for launch early next year, the i200 will come with a built-in DVB-H receiver, although the company plans to pack in a DVB-T receiver chip as well. The i200 will also feature a VGA display, limited recording capabilities and 512MB of onboard memory and loaded with upcoming Windows Mobile codenamed Crossbow.
The company’s aim… a multi functional brick for watching TV, and, murder your room mate at the same time, for denying you your favorite Desperate Housewife Episode BECAUSE he wants to watch football and forcing you to buy the brick…

Edit: I found this image describes Lord Helmet perfectly!

What was the designers smoking, my god? It seems that this is a device that gives the user a 360 view or something, I’m not sure what. Oh and its design by Toshiba, some say a pretty good consumer brand.
It’s like, lets design this 360 degrees virtual simulator, hmm how should I style it? I know! I saw that Spaceballs movie last night and hey, lets grab my TV and cut the base up and wear it like Helmet!
I’m now just looking for those wires on the top of the helmet, like those used on those flying sexy kungfu movie actors. Wait, OMG! Its looks like that lady’s neck muscles are giving way!
