- Según sus propios creadores, esta es la peor página web del mundo, hecha mal intencionadamente para demostrar los errores más comunes cometidos por los diseñadores web, tal y como recogen en menéame.Lo primero que llama la atención en la web es la mala elección del color del fondo y de las letras, con muy poco contraste y prácticamente ilegibles.Aunque se señalan (en inglés) muchos otros fallos habituales, como el abuso de animaciones, el uso inapropiado de la música o una cantidad abrumadora de publicidad molesta que dificulta la navegación.También se destaca el mal uso de los hipervínculos, que en muchas ocasiones son demasiado largos, llevan al lugar equivocado o, simplemente, no funcionan.Respecto al contenido, se critica la mala redacción, la información desactualizada (en ocasiones durante años) o las imágenes que no pueden verse. |

- FINAL WORDS While the R2H is an impressive device with a great list of accessories, its weight (even with the 2 cell battery), permanent fan, tendency to heap up and generally inconvenient text entry modes (other than the USB keyboard), makes it a bit of an "odd animal" and the addition of a GPS module doesn't do a lot for it as the software offering is weak.
