what's the reason of iTunes being on your 2nd rank of Apple's worst products ever? share your thoughts.

Items 1 and 2 clearly don't belong on that list IMHO.

Read the comments on the article - there are folks who do not like iTunes but question why it is on the list. It would be good if the writer's boss saw these comments.

Full of misinformation and poor perspective. Bad writing intended to supply pages hits...

The Cube? Why, speedy, why?
Re: Apple's 10 worst products ever - Black - 06-19-2011
Things I never knew:
G4 Cube died a natural death as sales of Mac Mini, which was relatively inexpensive, grew.
The Mac Mini came out while the Cube was still in production?
Motorola cooperated with Apple to make Motorola ROKR E1 - the first iTunes integrated smartphone in 2005. It allowed users to transfer 100 tracks of music. It had endless nested menus which made music transferring slow. As a result, users selected iPod Nano instead.
The Nano owes its success to a failed cell phone?

Except for iTunes, which I agree does not belong on the list, I never owned any of those products and only barely used the round mouse, which WAS terrible.
The QuickTake camera is pointless by today's standards but as I recall worked amazingly compared to its competitors at the time.
