There's no doubt the N900 has huge potential but the lack of commercial apps/games via the Ovi Store is draining every bit of patience i have left.

They have time to update the ovi store with movie trailers but no apps? Lol compared to the iphone that sells/rents full movies via their appstore?

Nokia seriously need to up their game
There is simply no incentive for a new C/C++ developer to write apps for Maemo 5 unless they are an extreme fanboy. Nokia needs to give financial incentives, perhaps only taking 10% cut of the app PLUS matching/doubling the dollar sales for every 10,000 downloads.

A HUGE financial incentive is the only way to Push a bunch of quality apps initially. Apple did not need to do this as the initial sales were because of the sexy hardware "at the time".

I also don't believe Nokia can attract top developers especially with Google, Microsoft, Apple and hot startups being the top choice for the best developers.
