The iPhone version is free as in beer, because the iPhone platform and market is seen as a valuable asset in itself, and everybody wants a piece of that.
The problem isn't making a free maemo-shop with the same capabilities (there's a thread for that in the forum), is driving the Maemo platform to the same "value in itself" status, so much that everybody couldn't afford not playing in Maemo. This would drive innovation !
