DataPlay Discs
Lifespan: March 2001—October 2002
Price: $9.99
Pushed As: Compact-disc replacement
Why It Failed: Its quarter-sized frame was cool, but media consumers found the price of CD-Rs and CD-RWs more fitting. Pre-loaded music discs came with extra features that were annoying to unlock and its write-once capability didn't bode well for those looking to use the discs as back-up storage.

I think the new TickleMe Plant Greenhouse is more then just a craze. It will be grown for generations to come. Watching the fan like leaves close up like magic when Tickled is something kids will never forget. Like the song says I Love My TickleMe Plant

Personally, I love the lists. I look forward all the time to see the latest and newest ones they have up.

The *lack of enough sales* of an overpriced but well-designed device is what made the Cube un-apple like.
