Many awards ceremonies will be set up in the Memoriam link to commemorate the departure of the outstanding figures, to mourn, the consumer electronics market. Every year, there are people's favorite products, services to complete its mission, completely out of the market. Although they have had a good time with us, leaving also means that technological advances are actually worth celebrating. Now, let's just go and miss the digital products and services that became history in the 2014. ipod Classic (2007-2014) this year, Apple officially withdrew its ipod Classic from the official store, announcing its shutdown. Apple CEO Tim Tim explains: "We can't buy parts of the ipod Classic, and the new investment is not consistent with the consumer trend." Obviously, how many users will carry a hard disk-type MP3 player with a smartphone instead of a music player today? Microsoft Windows XP (2001-2014) XP is not just Microsoft's most popular and long-lived operating system, but also a generation of memories. And this year, Microsoft finally stopped supporting the 13-year-old XP service, meaning it was completely out of the market. While there are still many users around the world who use XP, switching to Windows 7 or 8 is a more sensible option when security is not guaranteed. Sony PSP (2004-2014) Sony's first handheld PSP has created 80 million sales in 10 years, no less than Nintendo's console. But due to the subsequent PSV has been on the market for some time, so this year's PSP officially discontinued. Microsoft MSN Messenger (1999-2014) Microsoft's MSN Messenger (later renamed Windows Live Messenger) is a generation of well-known IM communication software, in the business market has a decent performance, has been affixed to the domestic foreign companies logo. However, as Microsoft's business changed, Skype eventually replaced MSN Messenger this year. Sony VAIO (1996-2014) Sony officially announced its exit from the notebook market in February this year and the Vaio brand was sold to Japan Industrial Partnership Inc., so Vaio has nothing to do with Sony. Of course, we cannot deny that in the 18 years that Sony has been in charge of Vaio, Vaio has been the only product in Windows that can rival Apple, and the exquisite style and innovative industrial design are still memorable. Nokia mobile Phones (1984-2014) Microsoft has officially completed a takeover of Nokia this year, and the takeover agreement stipulates that Nokia will not be allowed to launch its new smartphone by 2016, and that Microsoft also has a 10-year brand license for its feature machine. In other words, at least until 2016, we will not be seen in the Nokialogo of the new smart phones appear in the market. Of course, Norbit.The introduction of the first Android tablet and custom interface this year may mean a 2016-year return. Plasma TV (1999-2014) after Panasonic announced its exit from the plasma TV market last year, LG also followed suit in 2014. Although Samsung did not make a clear statement, but in 2014 almost no new plasma television launch, coupled with manufacturers have focused on 4K, OLED or even new quantum dots technology, plasma television is in fact a history. Aereo (2012-2014) Aereo is an online streaming television service in Europe and the US, and one of the most short-lived in the list. As the live television business affected the core interests of major television companies, and Aereo was not authorized, it was eventually strangled by the US Supreme Court, even though it was extremely popular.
