Nokia killed the N900 platform when they didnt create a proper app store. No pro developer will touch the N900 as there is no money to be made. All these smartphones (droid, hd2, 3gs, etc) are just vehicles for applications ffs. Thank goodness for the bedroom developers rehashing 80s games or there'd be nothing.

kbeeveer46 has really summed up my thoughts towards the N900 on this thread so big thanks for that.

Whoever at Nokia thought that the OSS community would be able to rival the commercial sector needs their head looked at.
