AOL Joystiq points to a PC World article lists the "25 Worst Products of All Time." Coming in 22nd is Apple's Pippin console, complete with boomerang controller. Here's what PC World had to say:
Apple had an Internet-capable game console that connected to your TV. But it ran on a weak PowerPC processor and came with a puny 14.4-kbps modem, so it was stupendously slow offline and online. Then, too, it was based on the Mac OS, so almost no games were available for it. And it cost nearly $600—nearly twice as much as other, far more powerful game consoles.
Hmm... And all this time we've been looking for the next Dreamcast, when we should've been looking for the next Pippin. But, you ask, what came in at number one in PC Worlds "25 Worst Products of All Time"? Why Joystiq's parent company, AOL.
Ouch.
