I didn't think it would be possible to look worse in real life than in the photoshop renderings. This thing is hideous. If this is the way I-Mate is heading when they don't get help from HTC then I wish them luck, they'll need it.

It is for design work like this that the term 'fugly' was coined. oy. What a beast. Cheezy '70s calculator anyone?

Darius may have put it a bit too bluntly, but I am afraid he's spot on.
This device must either have been rushed through the corridors of i_mate HQ skipping the Martketing&Style department or HTC shrewdly coerced iMate into accepting this design as a final step towards pushing iMate out of the market and make place for the HTC brand.
Ploy of the devil or stupid goof? Time will tell.
(personally I am increasingly getting cynical about iMates long term chances in the market)

Wiz; if I am not mistaken this is NOT an HTC design. It is designed and built by Invensys.

You'd think a device that wide could stand to be a bit thinner....

This thing wouldn't be so bad if it were thinner.
