If it's failed it is perhaps because Apple didn't bother deploying it outside the USA. Spending 3 billion bucks for a fad that is more similar to Monster Cables than to Apple is not very wise in my opinion.

If a fad is all that it was, you might be right. Problem is you have no idea what you are talking about, because you only know what you've read on the intarwebs - not that you're letting that stop you from blowing hot air out your mouth. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

this is only the latest spawn of big ass companies buying shat for tootles start up companies for Billions of Dollars. How long will it be before one of these companies that is started up by a 12_yo be bought for a Trillion Dollars? But Cerealy; I don't get this as all-- how much traction does this company have, vs a company type-a-like that Apple starts up from scratch. I mean, how long will a new and improved version of Beat take to catch up to its media awareness and 'popularity' ( which I've never heard of ) ? What is the undertow here ? eh. Thanx.
