12 Apple Products That Crashed And Burned

Not everything that Apple touches turns to gold. Case in point — the Apple Pippin gaming system. Never heard of it? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Like many of the other products on Oobject’s list, it failed miserably.

While certainly not on par with these 12 products, the Apple TV might be the most recent Apple endeavour to fall well short of expectations. Clearly, there is no reason to spend a substantial sum of money on a box with limited functionality when there are better options available. [Oobject]

    Then how do you explain iPods?

    ZING!

    The e-mate didn’t fail. It was originally restricted to education only, then opened up to general sale. It was canned for no good reason. As someone said on the Oobject post, it might have been the original netbook had they pushed the development.

      …it still wasn’t a hit and sounds like a miss.
      don’t get me wrong I love the iPhone, I have one myself…but it’s good to remember that success for Apple comes with hard work.
