Quick Take camera, 1994-1997

Quick Take camera, 1994-1997 – Killed because it was a Sculley-era product.
iPod Socks, 2004-2012 – Finally withdrawn after eight years of no one buying them.
Motorola Rockr phone, 2005-2006 – Showed the iPhone development team what not to do.
iPod Hi-Fi, 2006-2007 – Just the thing for your iPod – a 14.5-pound set of speakers costing $350.
Texas Hold 'em iPhone App, 2006-2011 – After five years, Apple stopped updating and folded.
Bluetooth headset, 2007-2009 – "like a bowl of Rice Krispies sprinkled with crystal meth for your ear," for a mere $130.
Ping, 2010-2012 – The bastard offspring of iTunes and social networking, not good at either.
Face Time Open Standard, 2010-??? – A real open standard attempt or a competitive ploy?
Cards App, 2011-present – Its only problem is that no one uses it.
