Has the market changed, making a cube replacement (essentially what you are pitching) a viable product now? I have no idea, but Jobs was kicking ass at Apple until the Cube put the company back in the red in 2001, not sure he wants to play with that hornets nest again yet  |
The Cube failed because it was badly overpriced. The Cube started at $1800 for the 450mhz machine in 2000 (when it was released). For not much more you could get a 450mhz tower. There was no price difference. Thats what killed the Cube. Apple did it to themselves.
