1. Newton eMate 300 is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with a physical keyboard, aimed at students with a colorful design and super durable shell. Despite having a touchscreen and 3MB of RAM, it was quickly discontinued after Jobs returned because it failed to meet expectations.
2. QuickTake is a rare digital camera line from Apple, developed with Kodak and can save 8 photos at 640x480 resolution. Despite being a pioneering product, QuickTake could not compete with Canon or Nikon and was soon discontinued.
3. The Pippin was a computer-game console that Apple partnered with Bandai to release in 1996. However, priced at $599 and dominated by the PlayStation, the Pippin quickly became a huge failure. 4. Studio Display launched in 1998 with elegant design, 15-inch flat LCD screen impressed the technology world.
