Monitors
Today, every professional carries a laptop all the time with him or her, whether at home or in office. However, if you have full-sized monitor at home and in office desk, this will not only handy for you but will do wonders by increasing the productivity of your work. The more pixels you have the better it will serve the purpose. So get yourself two 1080p screens for each of your work desks.
Here is a reasonable 23-inch, 1920 x 1080 screens for as little as $130.

Though we hope for more touchscreen displays to launch, today's monitors will serve you well many years after your PC goes to the recycling bin in the sky & mdash; and they are probably not getting any cheaper.

Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch:
The simple and straightforward “Samsung Galaxy S II” became “Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch,” when it fell in the hands of the Sprint’s marketing team.

The 1.8-GHz Intel dual core CPU also failed to justify its high price. No wonder that the Voodoo Envy 133 did not find a lot of buyers.
Cisco umi:
Cisco made the epic mistake of overpricing a product that people were getting for free. It marketed the umi home telepresence system at $599 and asked for a monthly rental of $24.99 for better video chatting quality. Skype was already there for free and umi terribly failed to impress buyers.
