KIN One and Two
Lifespan: May 2010—June 2010
Price: $149.99 (One), $199.99 (Two)
Pushed As: Ultimate social media smartphone
Why It Failed: How could Microsoft push a social-networking phone that lacked instant messaging, memory slots, and calendar and contact synchronization? Well, turns out it couldn't. (Don't say coming.) Despite sporting a cool operating system and hardware, Microsoft decided to kill the KIN a month into its release and focus on its other Windows 7 phones.

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.

Yup, seems pretty lame to me.

How is the cube being super overprices un-apple like? That's exactly what apple does best!

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