I gotta disagree here. Apple has never, ever listened to what their customers "really" wanted. There have been massive protests for a two button mouse, for a tower Mac (something less expensive than the utterly ridiculous Mac Pro), for better or more flexible hardware in general (going back years). The Apple Remote Control has a grand total of 6 buttons on it (used to be just 5), what consumer would have ever asked for that?

No, Steve Jobs has put the focus for Apple onto a relatively small stable of devices designed in a very particular manner. The iPhone is popular not because it is the epitome of what every customer wants; unlike other devices that try to satisfy as many expectations of as many consumers as possible, the iPhone instead tries to be the perfect extension of the Apple philosophy into the world of the cellphone. As with many other Apple products, it succeeds not by doing more things, but by doing a few things very well.

Microsoft: Good boy Nokia Good boy..Roll over.. Sit Nokia Sit...Good boy.
Nokia: Woof Woof Wooof....
Apple: *Crunch Crunch* pop corn please...
Google Android: Lol A man and his dog trying to rule the world.. *Idiots*

Well, the original Harmattan device was supposed to be launched a few months ago and apparently was cancelled because the hardware wasn't up to scratch.

Interesting. Apparently you know better than I what I choose and what I do not choose.

What is your point? Try to state your point in a few clear sentences if you are able to. Thank you.

Wow.

Where did you get that!?

How about this. You're 100% right about everything. Always.

MeeGo- The last hope:

Zune is absolutely not a fail. The fact that you think it is calls into question any assertion about Microsoft you could make.

Zune marketplace has actually recently been gaining considerably on iTunes and will only increase in the future.

WIndows Mobile 6.5 isn't the best thing Microsoft has produced, but it certainly didn't fail by any stretch.

The rest... meh.

Thanks, I knew that before.

Now do you have a point or not? Seems like "or not" to me.

Nokia should never have dumped Maemo, they should have kept up development and in fact pushed it into much higher heights. And they did this for what? Meego..... oh dear something never happened or even got off the ground and they already have Maemo even if half baked is still a hell of a lot further than the dream of Meego.

Me thinks Nokia need to go see the quack lol.

Cool it cBeam cos if you think your gonna get a straight answer out of gerby ... ha ha good luck lol.
