3 years ago, if you wanted to develop for mobile you had choice of windows mobile or symbian. Now you have iphone, windows, symbian, android, maemo, palm

What is Nokia doing to attract developers (other than a free loaner device) when there potentially alot more money to be made in iphone,andriod apps with better documentation and marketing.

I don't see how Nokia is going to attract developers away from the other platforms other than an app store with:
- 90% profit to developer
- at least giving 100 dollars for each non-fart app just for creating the app
- access to all the Maemo source code and shipped apps on the phone to see how things really work under the covers.
