I tried to suggest a middleway: offer a donation button on the maemo/download section.

But not much response up to now.

Yesterday I read about sim city for iphone. This would even be a reason for me to buy an ipod touch:-) I never played it, as I hate to sit in front of my desktop and playing, but on a N800 or an ipod touch ... They charge about 10$ ...

I myself think about programming some little mind training games. As a mathematics teacher we play some nice games in the class room. Actually I was searching a way to programm for N800 and iphone (from one source code) when I found this discussion here.

So I realy think about going to town, buying an ipod touch and sim city and start programming for ipod touch with my mind training games ...
