...which brings to my mind: why are the Maemo Application Manager and Maemo Downloads so separate entities? An improved application manager would utilize all the cool information Downloads has, like ratings, comments, screenshots, "hot apps" and so forth. A much more integrated and pleasant experience than the current quite pedestrian list of .deb packages...

And best of all, the packages listed would mostly be Free Software, not the "modern shareware" App Store has (and Ovi Store probably will have).
