i dunno, try doing a search for "OVI sucks" and maybe you'll find some reasons...
do you think it's fast and easy to get things into OVI store? it's not. plus, why would you WANT another middleman? paypal is bad enough.

FYI he's not a computer, you might have to wait for him to
1) have free time
2) check his email
3) send you the program

You might want to read some more of the posts in this thread while you're waiting, never know what you might find...

LOL. This is so very far away from ever being able to be put in the Ovi Store, it's not funny.

You serious with that? :confused: How on earth would this be on ovi? And from what category would nokia place it be? Games? :D
OVI store are for end-users. Now what would common end-users do with bleeding edge wifi driver? Also didn't you read kernel power wiki? Overclocking your n900 would void it's warranty. And since this package comes with kernel power do you think nokia would post something on ovi which would void users warranty? :eek: It's like shooting their heads

Also ovi needs a fixed price for an app... While lxp asks random amount starting from 0.00000000000000000000000000001$(if paypal allows it) up to infinity(He won't mind if you donate all the world's money)

1 mistake that lxp made was... He should have not called it a donation but instead a contribution.

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Good question! Also lxp can build a webshop in 5 min with paypal as money partner. He wasn't forced to use the donation method! Also Ovi-Store needs a license its not free and it is like half of ur device costs today. Also I can build this webshop for him if he want!

Because you feel people that write software shouldn't be able to feed their kids? No, really... programming is work, for lots of people. What do you do for a living? How would you feel if I said I'd never pay for that service, or the goods you manufacture, but would instead prefer to steal them?

Software doesn't write itself. Even opensource software is written by people who are taking their own time and energy to write it and then donating it for free to the world. In order to do that, they have to support themselves, usually by writing software in the business world, which charges for software. If you don't buy software, they're out of a job. If that happens enough, free software will vanish as well.

Btw: You did pay for software already. Just owning an N900 means you paid for the software on your device when it shipped. Assuming you didn't lift an N900 from a retail store...

I respect this work, but if I can get it for free - I`ll do it. More than that > I`ll share it with those who have the same point... This is scene///////

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

When it comes to big corporations with overpriced software, I respect your point.

But individuals, or small corporations, just asking for a dollar or two is another thing.

Obviously, nothing any of us say here is going to change your mind.
