Reviewers won't switch from their preciousssss, and, because smalltime/cowboy/hobbist developers (which are the ones that supported Maemo and Harmattan) will have less itches to scratch*, there will be fewer native programs for the device.

In fact, all platform development will come from those of us who will reject to install the Android runtime no matter what, and thus will be in severe need of native applications. Unless a friggin miracle -- that did never happen in the many years a big name such as Nokia was behind this -- occurs and commercial developers start targeting the device.

* If you don't think that is the case, ask yourself: Would the Whatsapp protocol have been RE'd if it the official application could have been run in N9 since day 1?
