though I must admit that I don't recall seeing anything in the iPod marketing about not being able to play music from napster or real's stores - you'd have to read the specs of napster, real, and the iPod itself to deterime they're not compatible
I don't have to go to any of those sites when Wikipedia's entry on the iPod does it nicely enough. And I quote "The iPod does not support other DRM-protected formats (such as the DRM-protected version of WMA), so iPod users who wish to purchase DRM protected music online must do so through iTunes or circumvent the DRM of the files downloaded from the other store (which may be illegal). Music purchased from other online stores will not play on an iPod in protected form." While the iPod can play unprotected forms of music, there is no other major music service that either doen't use an encoding or uses DRM.
I never said it was 2:1. I never said we should compare them. I never said the DS couldn't have sold more. But you said the DS sold more in the same period, and you were not right.
60% of the total shipment in 1 week is very good sales for an electronics product. I can think of evtremely successful products in the past that don't have numbers like that.
Except it's a new release, and the DS sold much better during the same period of its release. So the PSP is not a monstrous success "by any measurement."
Like I said above, the DS sold 513,000 units in its first week.
The latest issue of Wired had a slightly diffrent opinion. They pointed out that Google and Yahoo have diffrent buisness models (ad revenue vs. subscription services) and have collaborated in the past. They both have influence, but they don't have identical views. And besides, they are just running support for page searchs (something they already do on a smaller scale anyway).
If I remember correctly, lack of Japanese developers was what hindered the X-Box so much before. I can't think of a single game for the system made in Japan that was console exclusive or playable. Microsoft has historically been disliked by Japan. Sony even tried to make thier own version of Unix a decade or so back so that they didn't have to use Windows. Maybe Gates just bought the country. God knows he could do it and still have enough money to use as toilet paper.

Someone has already registered the psplinux.org domain name, so you might have to make a choice.

Sony will fix them if you send them.
Well since Sony said they wouldn't accept dead pixel returns until two weeks after purchase, I doubt it was a large number.

The DS sold 513,000 units in its first week. The GBA sold 530,000. 600,000 is the best launch numbers for a portable ever.
I get it on IGN alot too. It might have to do with the format for the ads they get from the developers.
By page support I of course meant hosting. I hate thinking one thing and saying/typing another.

Sounds like everyone's favorite vaporware too.
Board games and tetris! I can't wait to have these things available in my house.
Well my ignorant ass sure feels dumb. Now that I look at this long list of games, I guess I was wrong.
Do they make iSocks that fit an iMonkey? http://www.robandelliot.cycomics.com/archive.php?i d=72
Where do they sell iLives? Someone told me to get one the other day.
