“It is a rare day indeed we come across a piece of technology that so utterly fails at its intended purpose,” opines CNET editor Jasmine France, “but American electronics manufacturer Coby has managed to produce just such a device […] we were a bit surprised at the atrocity of this digital audio player.”

Editor’s rating: 2.3 out of 10. “The good: Cute design. The bad: Everything else. The bottom line: Don’t bother.” Only one user review, giving it a score of 1 out of 10, and the comment “An MP3 a monkey would like.”

Ouch.
