In the third and final installment of the Trilogy of Fail mini-series, Saint and Jim take a look at technological fails. These are hyped, touted and in some cases even anticipated tech products; products that were conceived, researched, prototyped, produced, marketed and sold...but that nonetheless made about as much impact as a wet fart in a windstorm. Among them: audio players absolutely nobody wanted, transportation devices that became punchlines, "Who is this for?!?" computer peripherals, and even undeniable missteps that faded fast, but still left equally miserable legacies — like terrible typefaces and TSA overreach. Will your (least) favorite tech flop make the list? Only one way to find out. Just realize that there's a reason this is particular format is called a "Podcast" and not a "Zunecast", and you've got a decent head start.
