Apple turns 36: A flashback of its 8 Disastrous Products
Newton MessagePad
MessagePad is a series of personal digital assistant (PDA) devises equipped with handwriting recognition developed by Apple in 1993. It was a first one of its kind but with its clumsy size, bad battery life, no desktop connectivity and the inaccurate or extremely mixed results from hand-writing recognition, the device failed to impress many. Apple later cleared most of these problems through the modified versions but the customers always wanted Apple to produce things which are free of error.
