What are some good technology devices that should have caught on, but didn't?

Zune

In its prime it was vastly superior than any Ipod. And cheaper.

 

Especially the Zune HD.  I was going to get one right before they stopped them. (Somone gave me an Ipod, that thing screwed up my computer so much.  It even messed up some web design stuff - why in the word would itunes needs to mess with non-musical software?!?)

But then Zune sort of turned into the Xbox Video/Audio part of Windows Phone 7-8, and the inspiration for the Windows 8 style.

Would you agree that while the device itself died, the 'Zune experience' move into other things.

Yes, that's definitely the case. I just wish the stand alone MP3 player was still around. People hated it and never bought one simply for not being Apple, it was ridiculous.
