“The Düsseldorf consumer electronics manufacturer Maxfield GmbH filed for bankruptcy in the District Court in Düsseldorf,” Axel Postinett reports for Handelsblatt.
Postinett reports that after initial successes in the highly competitive and Apple-dominated market for digital music player with up to 12% market share in Germany, Maxfield’s sales fell ever further.
Maxfield’s planned expansion abroad failed as well as an entry into the mobile phone business, Postinett reports.
Postinett reports that Maxfield failed to deliver more goods to retailers or pay employees salaries, according to sources in Düsseldorf business circles.

Blut auf dem Klickenrad?
Completely unrelated, but I love those joy of tech cartoons on the left side!
Auzgezeichnet!
Maxwho?
Re: Joy of Tech – They are usually clever. But this time the sweet pussy got my attention.
I like them too WJ….
“Blut auf dem Klickenrad?”
Ja! Aber ist das Klickenrad schnappig nach dem Blut?
Sounds more like a ridiculously underfunded company run by idiots than a company that suffered death by iPod.
With a rubbish business plan, no brand profile and no funding, they would probably have suffered death by Dell DJ Ditty!
klickrad, heißt es auf deutsch
Wandering joe,
I felt mislead by the preview.
I was hoping for a dead cat joke.
Gone?
But I’ve seen just as many Maxfields in public as I have Zunes!
Oh.
Why is their navigation pad so huge? You could raise a pack of wolves on one of those things.
(Yours Smugly, only if the Blut is loaded with Schnapps.)
Uhhhh, who?
Why is their navigation pad so huge? You could raise a pack of wolves on one of those things.
Many of their users liked to dance with wolves.
Mister Snitch, many of those wolves are pretty good at DDR, too.
HOGAN!!!!!!!!!!
Ist einen großen Klickrad ähnlich einen großen Schwanstück?
Never heard of them?
I know nothing…..
Another one bites the dust!
