Look, pie is fattening, people. Theres no denying that. You cant blame Apple for wanting to slim down. Particularly with its high school reunion coming up.

Nokia held its quarterly bloodletting, er, conference call this week, and it wasnt pretty; the companys financial results confirmed that sales of the Lumia 900 were less than spectacular.

In its bleak earnings report today, Nokia revealed it shipped just 600,000 handsets in North America during its latest Q2 2012, down from 1.5 million in the same period last year. The 60 percent drop year-on-year, coupled with an identical ship rate in Q1 2012, shows that the companys risky bet on Windows Phone is still a slow starter.
