The A1314 Apple keyboard has a 10x satisfaction over the current Apple keyboards.
The design is also 10x better.

The media calls a flop. I would call it a device ahead of its time. What do you reckon?

Without its visionary leader, Apple was a lost ship.
Product flops and infighting followed. One of the biggest misfires was the $700 Newton MessagePad.
Launched in 1993, the "personal digital assistant" was supposed to be Apple's next big hit.
Instead, it was a total embarrassment.

They never discontinued the iPod. They just repurposed it into the iPhone. And they seem to be doing just fine.

Wico joystick is built like a bomb. But the trackball is pretty cool. Who remember playing centipede at the arcade with the trackball?
