Choice Magazine has nominated Apple's iPod for their Shonky awards.
Apple's iPod has won a Shonky, the Australian Consumers Association award for "unsafe, unethical, dishonest or plain hilarious products". The main point against the iPod is Apple's disgraceful, and possibly illegal, return policy.
Then again, what more can we expect from a company that blames Microsoft when it ships a product with a virus?
I also love how Apple link their advisory to two of the buggiest antivirus products on the market.
It's way beyond time that the ACCC and various state consumer protection authorities start doing their jobs and prosecute a few vendors for breaching the Trade Practices Act and various state laws.
Perhaps if they did, these outfits would stop treating users, customers and resellers with contempt and start shipping products that did what they promised.
