And the winner is... iPad!!

The iPad, winner of the Fiasco Awards 2010

Barcelona, March 11th 2010 " The recent launch of Apple, the iPad
tablet, has won the award for the second edition of Fiasco Awards deliveredthis Thursday in Barcelona. From the more than 7,000 people who voted via thewebsite www.fiascoawards.com, 4,325 have considered it the fiasco of the year.
The iPad is a tablet PC developed by Apple that was presented on January 27th. Its candidacy highlighted that this "Big iPhone" (or "Big iPod Touch", rather) has significant shortcomings and incompatibility with Flash content and other applications, and it also lacks a USB port and other interfaces.
Voters through the web have decided that they want the iPad to follow a path similar to the U.S. President Obama with his Nobel Prize, receiving an award before its career starts.
The winner of the contest was announced this Thursday at the prize giving party for the Fiasco Awards 2010, which took place in Sala Tiffany's in Barcelona with the speech by the President of the Association of Internet Users Victor Domingo.
The organization is aware that the Fiasco Awards is giving the prize to a product that is not yet on the market, but after consulting the rules of the competition it states that there is no condition that prevents this candidacy, now awarded a prize from an absolute majority. However, if within a year the market's response to the iPad is not the predicted fiasco, the organization will present the 2010 edition of the Fiasco Awards as a finalist to receive the same award next year.
