2002 Flop list.

[mookie123]

Ah, nobody has made this yet. List what you think the 2002 biggest flops or overhyped stuff in PDA world.

my short list.

1. Xscale performance
2. iPAQ5450
3. Microsoft reader. (It's cracked yet again)
4. Toshiba's VGA/USB adapter
6. Smartphones. (in all it's form and brand)

I'm sorta with ya on the Ipaq, and certainly on the smartphones. Smartphones would probably rank my #1.

Xscale performance... kind of...

Obviously we haven't seen any increases in speed but it has resulted in longer battery life over the StrongARM. My 3975 with the same 1400Mah battery as the SA 38xx iPAQs gets 10-12 hours of runtime versus the 7-8 I would have gotten from a 38xx if I had purchased one.

Oh well, that is still a far cry from the 4 hours I would get out of my old 3630...
