Microsoft bought Danger in 2008 for $500 Million. Two years later the wrote off $750 Million, with warehouses full of their BS "Sidekick" phones. Then they bought Nokia, and did it all over again, but BIGGER! (Paid over 7 Billion, write off 7.6 Billion shortly thereafter..)
Microsoft didn't miss the boat, they EPICALLY FAILED.
I can't believe this is even an new item around here.. I mean this is a TOTAL NON-ITEM. Just an excuse for EA/NVidia to SPAM every news outlet on the planet under a wave of Press Releases. I mean it's great to see the Marketing Monkeys are doing their job, but gimme a break! This item has appeared on EVERY News service on the web by now! AND IS SAYS NOTHING!
