Don't know much about it, but that Google phone sure is fugly. Looks like an old, cheap palm pilot or something from the late 90's.

...opinions are like bungholes. Everyone's got one... most of 'em stink.

In reality, the Google phone has been selling really well for a phone which is only available (currently) through T-Mobile service, which is pretty much in third place in the U.S.

Once Motorola makes one at the end of next year and (hopefully) it sells with AT&T or Verizon service, the momentum will continue and will be strong.

As for Blu-ray, people seem to forget that DVD took quite a while to take off, too. In fact, it took forever for DVDs to get as much shelf space at places like Target and Blockbuster Video. This time around, Blu-ray keeps getting more and more shelf space and the adoption rate is growing faster than DVD when it was first being pushed. How quickly people forget that it took about 4 or 5 years before DVD adoption rates started gaining real momentum.

MacBook Air was definitely a flop. This is mainly because Apple spends so much time innovating. This usually translates to the idea of throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks. Some things stick and stick well... iPod... iPhone... etc... Some things never stick. They learn and adapt.

I think Spore is exactly what everything thought it was going to be (and more)... sure, there was backlash over the DRM... but if you are unaffected by this, you likely really enjoyed the game while it lasted.

Vista Home Premium was killed off by such a long delay, so many bloated features, by forcing certain security measures on people who specifically avoided such things as Norton Internet Security and the likes... and by requiring yet another upgrade to processor and hard disk space. At some point, technology really needs to make better use of CPU and HDD, not just keep requiring more and more and more. I remember during the Amiga demo-scene, it was all about taking a reasonably powerful computer with only a 7 MHz processor and make it do things you wouldn't think possible. Nowadays, nobody thinks to make more powerful things run on less powerful machines... it's all about driving the adoption of further processor and HDD upgrades. My guess is that there are some Intel and Seagate lobbyists out there working overtime.

10.Xbox 360.

9.Xbox 360.

why bring up the xbox360 r u sony fanboys really that shallow

11. Xbox 720

i figure they're all 10 year olds desperate for attention

with more AAA's then ps3? sure.

i can see there's already so much stupidity on this page i wont even bother.

what about games for windows one of the biggest flops out there

What is so bad about Vista exactly? I'm using it now and I've had no problems...

Yet is has a install base of 15+ million? Yea PS3 is a real flop *rolleyes*

Other tech flop: Sony PSP UMD disks.

Xbox the first was a flop.
It was very expensive to make and didnt have games.

Xbox 360 of course. A faulty system that lacks of games and good quality graphics.

I'm using it right now as a fireplace and a toaster, it also keeps me awake when I feel sleepy.

Xbox live kindergarten is another expensive flop.

Awaiting MicroSlaves to defend its flopbox.

lol wut ?

If there's a "9 Top News Flops" this will be #3.

so where is HDDVD on that list???

I definitely agree that the G1 is a flop...

The true iphone killers are (in order of awesomeness):

1) HTC Touch Pro
2) Sony Ericsson Xperia 1
3) HTC Touch Diamond

And next year, the new #1: nvidia's TEGRA 600 SERIES!!

Zune

I LOL'D AT BLURAY.

Now I understand why you're all so pissy.

I think the Playstation Eye should be up there. There's not really too many good games that use the Playstation Eye, and some of those games can even just use the ps2 eyetoy. Outside of gaming, it makes for a pretty good PC camera, but the unofficial driver software for vista is still being worked on and is feature limited aside from video capture and still image capture.

The MacBook Air is definitely a bonafide flop. It's a trendy gadget, but impractical for any real-world use. A lot of people where I work have them as a status symbol, but to get any real work done they have to clip on the stuff you'd get in a standard MacBook.

What I find funniest is that in order to connect to the wireless network in my office you first have to have a wired connection to download the certificate. No ethernet port, no certificate. So they have to get a USB ethernet dongle, too. You can hardly call the thing a portable computer when you have to have so much crap attached to it to get it to work.

This article fails on so many levels. The only thing i agree about is Vista. Otherwise the writer is talking out of his ***
