Those neat apps like http://wikitude.me/ will require a compass to work perfectly.

I also like the 'open' aspect of Mameo but the recent "Nokia sues apple headlines" don't fit in the open paradigma and I'm not so sure about Nokias primary intrests.
ah yes you're right. augmented reality apps would be the cream topping
i don't use any myself, so i think of this too as "secondary", but it might be a dealbreaker for some.


nokia's primary interest is making money. the fact that maemo will have to cater that interest on a large scale some day already shows with the introduction of DRM into harmattan.
we'll see how this will affect the open paradigm of maemo, i think it's too early to make a judgement yet.
edit: and i don't think the lawsuits to be of any importance to this. that's just business.
