I humbly submit the Tapwave Zodiac and the Nokia N-Gage. One was a PDA meant to be a gaming machine, the other was a Cellphone meant to be a gaming machine. Both suffered from some questionable design choices, but ultimately they failed for a lack of consumer interest and an almost non-existent game library.
