What were the numbers for Nokia's "Comes with Music" and Ovi's Music?

It's always nice to compare to the Zune numbers if we're to discover what's a fail or not.

Maybe you should make your assertions with more clarity than "ZUNE-Fail"

Dude you can bend the english how ever you want.
ZUNE=ZUNE the Media Player player, not ZUNE the Market.

If you got a ZUNE and you taking this personally...guess what ZUNE still=FAIL

He fixed it.
Permanently.
No more software development means no more software development problems.

Nokia and Meego would have stood a chance if Nokia had pulled its engineering together so there must have been a reason for them to do what they have done and bring in ELOP.

This is not good ... source http://meego.com/aggregator

Your editor, along with many others, was looking forward to an updated N900, running an evolution of Maemo 5 with a shinier user interface; better battery life and slightly less bulk. Looking around the mobile landscape, there's no obvious alternative at the moment, with HP's webOS series of devices looking most likely. It's sad to think that the N900 might have been a "Concorde moment"; and Nokia's MeeGo device will be treated similarly to the 770 five years ago, but without the future promise of OS 2005. Unless there's a change in Nokia's leadership (or at least Nokia's leadership's mind), the MeeGo device from Nokia will be stillborn.

With Elop at its helm and as long as he stays there i reckon you can forget anything going toward Meego and Maemo as he has only one goal as he is still being paid by M/S which makes you wonder just what has happened here with Nokia, were thay in that much deep shite they had to bring in M/s.... strange behaviour without explanations aye.

Might be worth reading the rest of that by the way !.

I'm not saying Zune is objectively and quantitatively awesome (although I subjectively believe so). I'm just saying its not a failure. The facts support me.

I assign myself a goal for this working day: to not pick nose more than 10 times. If i succeed, it is not failure, the facts support me!
