Apple's laserwriter hardware along with the incorporation of a built-in PostScript interpreter totally redefined desktop printing. This is a HUGE omission. You totally forgot the Laser Printer.

"Intel Partnership" is in no way "an innovation". Somewhere up these comments, someone wrote Bootcamp does not merit "innovation". I agree. Apple is definitely not the first in dual-boot/dual-OS world. And iPod? " The iPod's innovative design, and integration with iTunes has truely made it one of Apple’s greatest innovations." What was the innovative design anyway? Surely the integration with iTunes does not make it "an innovation". Surely any hardware maker makes software (driver, GUI) for it's hardware. The iTunes is not anyway different. It's actually an annoyance because if you want to use an iPod, you don't have choice but to use iTunes. The iTunes interface is annoying. Been looking for replacement but there seems no one making. Surely the iPod's GUI concept is not the first too. I remember Creative Audio sued Apple on this (GUI concept). However, the touchpad control (or whatever you may call it) is what it made iPod innovative. It was the first scratch to use touch sensitive stuff and thing like that and it's what made it different, and it's what made some buy it. And, anyone thought of the fonts? Yes. FONTS. The fonts is what made the first mac os a hit. Ever read of Steve Job's history before they founded apple computers? Google it. Steve Job perfected fonts (of course that means rendering it on the display) and that made the first apple OSes ahead of rival OSes that time. It was even borrowed in to different OSes, Microsoft Windows is no exception. #1 : "the" Fonts :) The #10 should definitely get out of the list. “Intel Partnership” is in no way “an innovation”.

I would also remove iLife since it could hardly be seen as a innovation, all Apple did was take a few simple programs and arrange them in a neat package. This have been done by others for years. I'm also a bit critical of Powerbook, NEC with their Ultralite created the model for how a laptop should be designed with its clamshell-construction. And IBM's Thinkpad showed the world what the perfect laptop should look like. OS X is also a no-no. They took an already developed kernel, modified it and added a GUI. Expose, spotlight, the coming spaces etc was already available as third-party addons for Windows and/or Linux. What Apple did was collecting ideas - but that could hardly be consider innovating. The same thing with iPod, while creating a revolution for the common man, the geeks hade been playing with mp3-players for years, even harddrive based. It was more in the line of an evolution - but a damn fine steep it was. What could instead be added is firewire which is the de facto standard for video equipment. I must say that the list is a bit strange, some parts of it mention products because of their financial success (iPod, iMac, OS X), other because they were the first of a kind (Newton) with little regard to the financial result. It makes it a bit schizofrenic. Either make a list with the top innovations from an engineering point of view OR make the list from a financial point of view, not both.

Apple, however, is not without it’s stinkers…and the products on this list were undeniable failures (financially, at least) for Apple. Most of them lead to much better products down the road, and all of them are interesting in their own ways, but these eight Apple creations show us that the company doesn’t hit it out of the park every time. This list is not in an ordered number of least failure to greatest failure (although, I doubt many people will argue that the Pippin deserves the top spot), it is merely a collection of Apple’s least successful products that I came across while working on my Apple’s Top 10 Innovations article. Some of them, like the Newton, were highly influential on the industry…but none them made a nickel…some of them even ended up in landfills unsold, and unloved.

In recent times, this is the 1 product changed the course of Apple (and everything from Geroge Forman grills to alarm clocks) forever.
