gadget flops google nexus q

Google makes the list courtesy of the ill-conceived Nexus Q, a spherical device for streaming music and video from Google Play and YouTube. The Q didn't offer much more than that, yet it came with a $300 price tag.

Critics panned the Q after Google (GOOGL) began issuing review units in 2012, and the company subsequently abandoned plans to bring it to market, giving it away for free to customers who pre-ordered it.
