HDPC – ‘The Ugly Sofa’

Posted on 07 December 2006, Last updated on 13 May 2015 by

Oh dear oh dear. Where on earth do I start with this one then? The MIU ‘M*free’. that I’ve just nicknamed ‘The Sofa.’

It looks like the screen slides up and then flaps back over to reveal a seriously ugly looking telephone-style device. There’s also a module that you can unplug to give you a portable storage unit, digicam and MP3 player. Modular is good but this little gremlin needs some serious re-working.

 

My favorite bit is the beautifully retro advertising. Click on this and get a load of the house of the future!

    Yup. Funny how two products that are seemingly similar can get such a huge difference in response. Th sidekick is loved by many. (but still has a small screen :-(
