According to here, massive. According to Nokia... <silence>
I don't know. I say smaller than the WebOS crowd.
Only thing that's been "confirmed" is that Nokia sold more than 100k in the first 5 weeks. What that means in total? Who the **** really knows.

@cap'n: seriously? Any iOS above v1.x should have an app called 'App Store' in it. Although you'd probably need iOS 4.x to run the citadel demo. Just swipe to leftmost screen (spotlight) and seach for App...
If you can't find it, perhaps your girl is a hardcore gadget freak (albeit the iFreak kind) that messed up her iTouch and i think you should take the time to appreciate how lucky you are to have been able to find such soul mate.
I suspect a wipe, an upgrade, and some encouraging words is good for what ails this magnificent device.

@capn: sometimes apps can get hidden or get the wrong permission set, but spotlight should still be able to find them. Try out a search for 'app' on it.
If that doesn't work, you can try turning on apps restriction/parental lock, exiting settings app, going back in to disable it again. This can reset permission/file flags.

Sadly after searching for spotlight search (ironic...) I didn't find anything. I've been over every pixel of this device, in every menu available, and it seems that I'm thoroughly locked out. I wasn't able to find spotlight search in the menu, nor the settings. Ditto for apps restriction or parental lock.
I appreciate your help, but at this point it feels like I'm wasting your time... And that dear sir, I will not abide. I figure a wipe for this device is overdue.
It's odd to feel so helpless. Usually this is about the time when I begin my command line trek.

@capn: lol take it easy dude. You can access Spotlight by swiping left on page 1 of the homescreen.
What is indexed by spotlight can be controlled in the settings menu (I believe in Settings - General - Spotlight, or thereabout. Gotta make sure that apps are indexed to make it show up.
And note that App Store (app) is not spelled AppStore

) yields nothing on my device; the icons stay put and don't slide! I swear I've tried every thing, even resetting all settings (heh) in case some setting unintentionally hid key functions.Maybe this isn't a gen2 iPod touch.... It seems awfully gen2, though...
EDIT: I just looked up the model number and it's a gen1 iPod touch! I don't know if that makes a difference, but that may explain some of these shenanigans.
Considering when my GF got her macbook, the 'free' iPod should have been gen2. Alas, she must have bought it on the wrong cusp.

to be honest, i dont see any sense in playing with a mobile device anyway! i had a nintendo ds lite, a psp and selled both!
i like gaming, but gaming on with shitty sound, and such a small display is nothing for me! at home i have a 52" inch SHARP FULL HD and a 7.1 onkyo hdmi receiver with KEF surround set....playing games like gears or halo reach today is MUCH more fun and MUCH more entertaining, than on a mono-like 3" inch mini display xD there is no atmosphere and what about controls? nothing is better than a real controller.. and what about multiplayer with FRIENDS? nothing is better than mario kart, street fighter, or gears/halo
i just play games like brain training, spb brain evolution or brain party, just a few games, where i can train my brain and just play short games, come on guys, SERIOUS GAMING and real FUN gaming must stay at home, with a decent HD-TV, SURROUND SYSTEM and internet connection!
so i dont miss anything =)

To those that say touch screen gaming sucks on the iPhone, ur wrong. The majority of games i played on my iPod Touch works fine and to my surprise, the controls work really well.
A really good RPG game for u RPG gamers out there is Chaos Rings. Don't judge or look at the gameplay, PLAY IT URSELF first and see how good of a control it has. It's a pretty damn decent game.
Gaming on the iDevices are actually a lot of fun, considering the game contents and quality as well as the amount they have in the App Store, compared to our shitty collections on the Maemo front. It's actually a lot better.
My point is, at least developers are developing for the iPhone, while i wish that's the same case for Maemo, it probably will never happen. Let's hope Meego picks up some attention at least, coz i have a feeling it'll just be the same.
