ha ha ha,there are always 2 camps in the nokia crowd. The realists/pessimists who know Nokia's history, and the optimists who believe that Nokia has learned from its past mistakes and will change. Seriously, the only thing thats certain here, is that EA and Capcom will NOT be developing for the N900. Sorry to say it, but without the Ovi store, or a target demographic thats bigger than the 100 members here, its not going to be a worthwhile investment for and large company to divert resources and spend time building software for the platform. Realize that the community is going to make or break the device FOR the community. I suggest you pick up an application of interest, and port it. If everyone who can, ports at least 1 app, who would even care about outside publishers and their generally half baked mobile products? The same has mostly held true for every IT before the N900 (short of 1st party apps), and will likely remain true for the future. We have a superior device, they have superior marketing. Besides, the N900 is too complicated for sheep to operate.
