Special: 2011 Tournament of the Worst Apple Products

As we are approaching the NCAA Tournament, brackets are a way of life. Here at SchwarzTech, we decided to have our own 32-seed (64 was just too much) bracket of Apple’s worst products. Some are completely terrible, while others were just the wrong product at the wrong time or had some other minor flaw. Keep listening to SchwarzTech Radio, follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, or check back here for our updates and feel free to play along with your own bracket!
