Biggest Tech Flops of 2007

What product, technology, or service introduced this year will be the biggest flop and why?

Both HD DVD and Blu-Ray will officially flop.

The future is no longer in discs, but in On-Demand and near instantaneous downloads, while the plain old DVD, especially with an upconverting player, is just fine for present use.

If you look back in history it was porn that settled the Betamax vs. VHS war. In present times porn has already chosen its methods and they are neither HD DVD nor Blu-Ray, but the Internet.

So instead of buying those high definition discs, invest in a Netflix or iTMS account or your local cable company’s On Demand service. IP based high def programming is the future.
