It does not seem to be hard at all to come up with a list of tech failures. So let’s track all the tech flops that took place from the second half of 2012 as listed out by Yahoo.

# 10 BlackBerry

Also called as CrackBerrys, they were seen everywhere and people could not put them off their minds. 2012’s one biggest flop is the BlackBerry’s announcement of new OS BB10. It was never released that year as it had promised. This was supposed to be RIMs comeback for the BlackBerry brand and it sounded exciting enough for fans who waited for it. But now that it has been released, the BlackBerry faithful are getting their hopes back again. The rest have totally lost interest.
