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.
