I totally disagree. If the Ovi purchase/installation process is made sufficiently seamless, I think Maemo software packages will sell well.

Come on, learn from Apple. If they can make money selling non-DRM music through iTunes, Maemo developers can certainly make money selling non-DRM software through Ovi.

If the infrastructure is good enough, 90% of real end-users will pay 99c upwards per software package for a seamless experience. And the remaining 10% can make the slight extra effort to get their software legally and for free.

That's a feature, not a bug!

Roger
