No, it doesn't work does it.

Microsoft released the Zune in Canada in 2008, but without the store, and I didn't recommend it to a single person because without the Marketplace, it's just another MP3 player...albeit one with some really great desktop software.

I know what you mean. My wife has an iPod Touch. A while back the bought Trivial pursuit for it for almost nothing. Yesterday she bought a new load of questions and an updated software version for another 69pence - the iPod Touch in particular is so much more than just a music player and the iPhone more than just a smart phone IMHO.
Take away the App store equivalent and it's not a contest - Microsoft would be bringing a knife to a gunfight.
