        then again, i had a tiny, protable minidisc player in 1998, and that never took off, despite being around for years and far superior to CDs-- they even played mp3s in a similar way to iPods. cheaper. years earlier. it ran off a single AA battery that lasted weeks. weeks. but they were a niche product…

        then again, when was thee last time an apple product failed to launch?

            hesitant upvote just because the G4 Cube didn’t so much flop as much as it just didn’t “blow up” and, also, it wasn’t a “new product”. it wasn’t very popular and didn’t last long, though, so you’re right about that. Oddly, they’re one of the ost sought-after collecter’s items, like the Newton, another famous Apple flop-- although I loved that, too, as I loved the G4 Cube.

    I haven’t wanted anything this bad since the original iPhone but I’m making myself wait for the third version. It looks so fucking cool. The haters’ takes are gonna age like milk.
