Some poitns for #6. The assumition on the 200K downlaods giving 50K serious homebrew users (Jake talked me up to the higher number later) is based on the fact that not everyone who experiments with homebrew will carry on using it, or jump through all the hoops required to continue to use it. The rule of thumb (and fgiven I;ve been in software distro for varios areas) is that SDK's have around a 1% user to downlaod ration, shareware is around 2% and freeware is around 15-20%. So I pegged homebrew at a freeware level, but even higher, at 25%, still laves us 50K.



The N-Gage is certainly percieved in the media as a flop, but it's sold over close to 3 million units, while not PSP numbers thats still great for a non-big player. The finaces don;t have n-Gage as a loss for Nokia (I run www.allaboutngage.com so I do know what I'm talking about) and the games are selling well online.



It's also the cheapest beta test for Nokia R and D for nerwer phones!

Thank you for clearing that up, I understand now where you got your numbers. Also on the subject of the Ngage I guess I just thought it was a flop because I listened to the media bash it left and right. Sorry if I was mistaken just shows that the media isn't always right :)
