This lovechild of Samsung and Bang & Olufsen sold for $2,000 in 2007 and sported a slick-looking design that defied logic. The Serenata chucked the conventional QWERTY keyboard, software keypad, and numerical key concepts entirely in lieu of an iPod-like wheel you rotated to dial numbers, text message, and navigate the user interface, effectively kicking users back to the days of the rotary dial.

Also contrary to conventional design, the wheel was positioned above a small 2.24-inch LCD, so inevitably, users’ hands covered the screen and partially obstructed view while they ‘wheeled’ around. And to add insult to injury, the Serenata completely lacked a camera. So while audio fidelity via the integrated speaker may have been top-notch – we’d expect nothing less from the Danish audio company — there was very little else to recommend the Serenata.

The “gesture recognition” strikes us as pure gimmick: shake the unit, and unread messages pop onscreen. Spin it to jump to a random music track...Says Google 24/7 blog editor Seth Weintraub: “It makes the Microsoft Kin look like a beauty pageant winner.”

iphone hardware wasn't that surprising though really, functioning software was a huge innovation in that industry however. the hardware was mostly just nicely done, no excess of unnecessary buttons, but got convenient stuff in like the mute button and a full-size headphone jack

i still think the apple car would have been a great idea if they had followed the same route, license a real car from a real company, then do actually workable software and ux for all the in-car stuff

well, if you ignore that it was set into the edge of the case so many headphones wouldn't actually fit without a dongle
