It’s a great question. I wish I would have asked it — and I just might next year! Of all the innovations and introductions of 2014, which was the worst?
\n
\nSometimes it’s difficult to tell, simply because we tend to forget the flops. In this case, however, the results are pretty much unanimous — and I have to agree:<\/p>\n
The Amazon Fire Phone is 2014’s biggest flop.<\/p>\n
I’m disappointed, of course. I wrote Amazon Fire Phone For Dummies<\/em>. I can share with you that I most likely won’t retire with any income from that title. While I really like the phone and believe Amazon did a great job with the interface and features, the public is seriously disinterested. That’s too bad, too.<\/p>\n Competition is good for any market. Having a viable alternative to the Apple and Google universe would be a solid thing. Look at Microsoft: They keep trying! Amazon is truly an out-of-the-box thinker, so I hope they don’t give up entirely on an alternative phone. For now, the Fire Phone remains 2014 biggest tech flop of the year.<\/p>\n
