range, you are missing my point. I'm speaking from a branding point of view. The apps are all in one spot, and you don't have any separate app stores or delivery systems. This is what makes the iPhone somewhat simple to get apps for, and something I myself don't need, but it makes it easy for new users.
Most Nokia device users will be coming from S40 and S60, and want the Ovi Store. It has nothing to do with buying the app, because alot of the content in the Ovi Store is free anyway. I just think making the App Manager say "Ovi Store" just drives that point home. And some Maemo developers might want to charge money for their work, and that is fine, too.
Tell me this. What does it bother you or anyone else if the icon for App Manager is redrawn to say Ovi Store? If the apps are still mainly free, and the opportunity to possibly sell apps is added but not required, what difference will it make? None. But the advantage is letting new users know that Ovi is present to deliver 100% of the available apps for the platform, and it could never be a disadvantage to build a brand you've already spent money on.
