- But I guess Nokias own developers are reading these posts, otherwise they're just stupod. This just isn't ambitious enough.

There's like - what? 165 apps at the moment? How can that compare to Apples thousands of apps? Answer: it can't.

So unless Nokia wants to loose anymore shares to Apple (and this is happening as we speak), then Nokia needs to hire some developers, do a money-for-apps-program or whatever. Cause this just isn't ambitious enough!

I'd like to hear other peoples reaction to this. No flames, thank you.

Google had a $10,000 or ($100,000?) contest to the best App to be developed for Android a while back when it was first released.

I remember reading about it but idk who won, anyway, that's a good way Nokia could get the ball rolling on Maemo Apps!

Then again idk wtf their are actually doing with all the focus on Symbian and QT and trying to push developers towards writing QT Apps that will supposively run on both OS.

I disagree with allot of people here, I think the more apps the better, sure you might have an app that does everything YOU need but their is always something someone else needs or you may need in the future and it is nice to know that their is (don't curse at me for saying this) "An APP for that"


Then again I really wish Nokia would just let Symbian rest in peace and focus thier energy on the Maemo OS . . . (or meegoo, or whatever the f%#k they are calling it)

A touchscreen linux based OS like Maemo could really be the future of commuting . . . . screw an ipad . . . I nice BIG maemo tablet would be awesome . . . . or ever a bigscreen HDTV with a resistive touch screen and Maemo OS running inside.
