And I agree N900/Maemo 5 was clearly aiming for geeks but with MeeGo going commercial, having two different "Applications Stores" in one device is simple WRONG.

I believe that Ovi Store and App Manager should be merge in MeeGo.
?
I couldn't agree more. At the back end we need to have multiple repositories (don't want to duplicate Apple's control of the iphone) but the front end needs to integrate all sources of software to present to the user. Sure some apps will cost money and some will have no warranty but that's simple to warn the user about.

At the moment the embarrassment is all with Nokia - the Ovi store with so few apps just looks pathetic.
