To solve many pointed and possible problems, maybe the back end that Maemo uses currently could be marketed and re branded as Ovi's "Open Source" back end for both Symbian and Maemo for the sake of convergence which will be much appreciated when QT dominates all Nokia/Ovi platforms?

And maybe Ovi could act as the main proxy company that employs it's developers, to let developers focus on what they do best as I suggested above?
