  Re: Don't give up...

  I know - You almost want to give them some money so they can keep up with this charade. Maybe that's their business plan after all, and we'll soon be handing over the cash in return for all this high-end entertainment they give us :)

  Obviously this idiot you're referring to is a completely different Arthur Alan Wolk to the one being referred to in the article above; This Arthur Alan Wolk is surely a shrewd guy and no fool at all. Most certainly. Yessireebob.

  Here's a number that was missing from the MS article

  Microsoft has stopped selling it's own branded 'social' phone - the 'Kin' after just six weeks. Reports say they have managed to sell just 500. An even bigger failure than the Zune?
