I don't know... I thought all of your "busts" were actually decent. Yeah, some of the ideas are developing still, but I wouldn't consider them a waste of time.

IOS4.0

Basically the same as

IPhone OS 1.0 of 2007

but...... it got GAME CENTER !!! Another bust.

I think they should work on the real things instead of trying to fill their os with useless stuff.

I would actually use it if it had FaceBook integration and you could recommend apps to friends, etc.

same but the problem is it doesn't! Maybe they will update it sometime with those features but after it's first failure I'm not sure people will give it a second chance.

It needs improvement, but I wouldn't call this a bust either.

Exactly! Instead of a decent notification system we get ping and game center.

The Beatles (not Beattles) has been a huge success. What criteria are you using to determines busts?

They feed the hype of something big.

The Beatles are big

The Beatles ON ITUNES ..... is not.

Maybe financially its been a succes but in 95% of people 's mind ( percentage can be argued) its a total fail.

Disagree.
 
I wish they would stop focusing so much on gimicks and put in some stuuf that adds to productivity and usefulness such as putting the date and not just the time at the top. How i hate having to hit home to look at the Calendar. Also, how about an LED email indicator, etc. etc.etc. And most of all, how about a "Delete All" from the Trash folder!
