By making meego feature complete out of the box,
the more it can do out of the box in its factory state the less reliance there is on 200k of garbage apps.
they need good social networking, media player, Email, maps, photo browser and very good video/photo editing software. these things need to be there from the moment you open the box and need to be done well, average app set will not cut like with some of the ones on n900

EDIT: on the other hand nokias future strategy with apps seems to be in the mold of adroid/iphone but on a far bigger scale with there multiplatform Qt SDK, so its no good trying to show the weakness of competitors when the future for themselves is the same, its all money driven of course not quality driven
