This article features several of the best-designed products released in 2004. Both the Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4670 and the Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 have a lot going for them; designwise, it comes down to revolutionary versus tried-and-true.

You can even hold up the scanning unit to scan that photo of grandma while it is still on the wall. The 23-inch Sony SDM-P234/B LCD Display has a lazy Susan base--a metal disk that spins without sliding across your desk. Another nice touch is the removable cover in the back that covers and organizes the cables--neatness counts. The portable Canon CP-330, which creates 4-by-8-inch or smaller prints, is tiny compared to most of its competitors, measuring a mere 6.7 by 4.8 by 2.2 inches. The CP-330 is so compact and beautifully symmetrical that it makes other snapshot printers look ungainly. Maybe the Radion Shark looks cooler than it needs to--but since when is that a problem in a design contest? Frankly, there is no good reason for this FM receiver and recording device should look like a shark's fin. Add in the glowing stripes in its side.
