too bad the zip drive flopped, it's 10 times better than the old floppies.
the wap phones didn't really flop, 95% of all phones today have WAP capabilites
3G phones has flopped so far because the video transmission is kinda unstable still. But in Denmark, where i live, the 3G phones are still a big hit, mainly because you can watch television on some of them. There are TV transmission stations that send TV signals especially to the 3G phones in the 5 largest cities in Denmark.
the main reason why zip disks flopped was first: the invention of the 2gb jaz disks from iomega, then the ability to write to CD-R/RW, and later DVD+-R/RW and the USB flash drives.
Virtual reality is something i miss to try again. I tried it at segaworld in London about 10 years ago, and it was awesome. Again you can get LCD "glasses" that tries to simulate VR, but they nearly cost the tip of a space rocket. Thogh expensive, I have tried one my friend had once, and jesus christ, imagine playing Counter Strike with them on...
though for the time being i'm excited whether HD-DVD or blu ray discs wil win. it's Betamax and VHS all over again.
