We believe you of course

But note that the mail code177 received says "only the approved premium publisher can publish for N900 at this moment" - that is, there are some people who can publish for the the N900 at the moment.

Can you confirm that this part of the mail was incorrect and there is a level playing field?

Also, regarding that very long queue for approval: You say wait for the terms and Ovi Maemo to be ready. Is there any advantage in getting into the approval queue now, to avoid a potentially long delay after Ovi Maemo becomes ready before it's possible to publish?

Or is it really the case that commercial apps can be published without liability insurance on Maemo?

Finally, just curious - how long is the queue? Hundreds, thousands, or millions of would be publishers? I won't be surprised if this isn't answered

Thanks a lot!
