Almost a "captive" audience. Too many games on the iPhone, not a lot of games on the N900.

Feast over famine, basically. A good game like Angry Birds stands out on either platform, but on the iPhone it's competing against a lot other "ooh, look at me" games and most people don't ever get out of "what's hot" and the first 25.

The numbers, if made public would actually instill faith that Nokia will continue to support Maemo 5 and not let it wither on the vine like Maemo 4.1 (Diablo). They don't take advantage of that, which is still fresh in a lot of people's minds, they're risking something they could avoid.

Just my opinion.
