>He put the failure down to seven factors:
It didn’t target a profitable niche;
The user experience was bad and priorities skewed;
The devices were hard to get and didn’t deliver;
Communication and marketing were rather chaotic and sometimes misleading;
There was too much focus on technical features the users and app developers didn’t care about;
The life of an app developer was too hard;
and
It wasn’t as open and community-driven as intended.
Was there anything they did right?
