I don't understand why people say UMD is a failed format. They place games on it, they play. the put overpriced movies on it, a few sold. As far As I know they never even wasted time putting music on it as it would have been overpriced. The point is Nintendo made cartridges for the original Gameboy, no one called that a failed format. They only worked on the Gameboy, they didn't fit in your VCR so why wasn't that a failed format. You mean to tell me if they would have been able to put movies on an original Gameboy and came out with a movie on a $30 cartridge back then and very few sold you would have called it a failed format? NO.
HD-DVD was a failed format, it came out made people buy equipment and media then went under. it FAILED. As far as I can tell, you can still buy a PSP, games and movies 4 years after it was launched. I'd say that is a success.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

I never saw the logic in a format being hugely successful on the PSP being labelled FAILED either, but I guess the download generation have spoken.
