‘This is where I missed the target’
“disaster in execution”, “madness”, “a taco” were all terms used to describe Nokia’s failed 2003 portable console and mobile phone - the N-Gage. First announced in the autumn of 2002, the N-Gage shipped a year later for the Christmas 2003 gift season. Built around an ARM processor and the Symbian mobile operating system, the goal of the N-Gage was to be a hybrid online-capable gaming and mobile phone device that reduced the number of devices people needed to carry. In reality, the N-Gage did neither particularly well - to use the phone the N-Gage needed to be held sideways so it looked like a taco, and to change games the device required the unit’s battery to be removed. Sales were poor and, during the first week’s after release, the N-Gage was outsold 100 to 1 by the then two year old Gameboy Advance. The N-Gage was eventually discontinued in early 2006 after poor sales, poor industry reviews, and poor public reception.
“This is where I missed the target”. Yes, yes you did…
