The point is to have ALL FUNCTIONS from both Ovi Store and App Manager under ONE ROOF. One simple, extremely well organized App manager that is able to handle downloads, uninstalls and software updates. All under one icon.
You must take into account the interests of ALL stakeholders, not just your own. Commercial app developers (and thus Ovi itself) will NOT be happy if they get competition from Free apps. You might not care, but they do. At the same time Free app developers need Ovi like a fish needs a bicycle - you expect people to pay 50E per year, give up donations and accept restrictive licenses and liability just to be able to do what they are doing now ? So, what's your plan to overcome this fire/water divide ?

EDIT: spelling
