I just canceled one unwritten post. Let me take the idea up again: Maemo should not be about paid mini apps in some more or less obscure app store - Maemo should be about free and open software. And I really do hope that this phone gets enough drive to attract open source developers to this platform.

Paid apps for me are the second rate citizens in this eco system. Not that I'm envious of people making a few dollars with their applications, but I was "raised" in a completely different mindset.
