good article, my post from the comments:

"the n900 needs commercial apps/games to compete with the iphone, so the sooner nokia releases the Ovi store for its flagship mameo5 device the better.

there is also a fantastic synnergy to be exploited in that the new iphone, the Palm Pre, and the n900 all use the same Omap3 hardware platform, something which makes app/game porting far easier.

the n900 could literally reach for the stars by standing on the shoulders of the industry giant, after all, why would developers not port their wares provided there is a secure sales channel in which to increase their sales."
