The Reason Why Google Glass, Amazon Fire Phone and Segway All Failed
- PaulHoule 12y agoSilly. Google Glass and Segway were both products completely different from anything on the market.

Amazon Fire Phone is just about greed. Other people can make big profits selling a $800 phone (since expensive phones are a positional good), so let's join the money party and sell an $800 phone. The Fire Phone had a few new features -- the head tracking is a neat trick, but identifying products by barcode is just an app.
