  • Top 10 Apple flops

    Filed under: ,

    Every one loves a good list post, and this one is certainly entertaining. Newlaunches.com has compiled their list of Top Ten Apple Products which Flopped. There are some gems in the list, including a couple of products I hadn't even heard of. Here they are:
    • Apple Cyberdog, which was an internet suite for the Mac OS back in 1996. I hadn't heard of this until now.
    • Taligent, an Apple and IBM collaborative OS
    • EWorld. Ah, now here's one I remember! An AOL-like online experience for Mac users in 1994, EWorld only lasted two years (but it was fun!).
    • Pippin. The Pippin was a game console that I've never had the chance to play with. Too bad.
    • The 20th Anniversary Mac. Waaay overpriced but super-cool to look at, the "TAM" as it's called is sought after by certain nerdy collectors...like me.
    • Motorola ROKR. Let's just move on.
    • Macintosh TV. Let's just move on.
    • Macintosh Portable. The $6500 "portable" Mac was about the size and weight of a baby dolphin. The rest should be self explanatory.
    • Apple Lisa. As the first personal computer to have a GUI and a mouse, it was a trailblazer. At a cost of $9,995US (that's $21,500US in Feb. 2007 dollars, Newlaunches points out), it didn't sell very well.
    • The Newton. Yes, yes, we all knew that the poor, maligned Newt would top the list. However, I love mine, so there.
    Any surprises? Glaring omissions? Let us know.

  • Sprint to offer $0.99 music downloads via phone

    Filed under: , ,

    AppleInsider is reporting that Sprint is about to offer $0.99 music downloads that can be accessed directly from their upcoming "Upstage" phone. The $149US phone will require a 2 year contract and feature access to the company's over-the-air Sprint Music Store.

    This is something that I dearly wish the iPhone - and even more so a future iPod - could do. Imagine sitting in Starbucks and downloading music directly to your iPhone/iPod. No video, of course, but it would be fun to grab a song just when you think of it. Now Sprint is going to beat them to it, and with a phone called "Upstage."
