I have been very happy with my n900 over the couple of months i have owned it. Now, however, there is something that is starting to annoy me quite a bit.

Non-developers are advised not to download the apps in extras which is sensible enough. The problem I have is the lack of any other sources for apps, eg ovi store which looks to have been abandoned with the beta label remaining after 5 or more months and the lack of any new apps. The ovi store has been literally inundated with one sensible new app in firefox over the past couple of months, but is filled with useless video clip type downloads.

I am now feeling slightly robbed as the device has a lot of potential, but lack of any official apps to follow this up. It is an internet tablet with phone capability and, unfortunately, not much else.

This is not solely a developer device and has not been marketed as such so a general consumer would expect some form of improvement, in line with other devices, for the selection of apps.

Is anyone aware of things changing on this or will novices be stuck with a semi functional device?
