I want an evilstick.

I used to hang on to stuff like that when it crossed my path.

One of my favorites was during the "ipod" craze.

A friend of my brother in law picked up a case of Chinese knock-offs, thinking he was going to make a killing selling them at the flea market.

They were called "IP-OD" and NO ONE in either family, including two IT guys and two professional mechanics could get them to play any video besides the demo, or figure out how to upload any other media.

The instruction book was 20 pages long and seemed to have pages with seemingly random technical sounding words on them.

Something like- "1- when adjustment to player necessary to be found be sure the adjustment to player adjust is made before being necessary to adjust 1-2-3".

None of the buttons seemed to do anything except play and pause the sample video.

I suspect it was a cheap single function chip with an embedded video, and that's all it was!
