And that's why you need to get all that open source software to do something! Nokia, how about implementing all those features in my post for digiKam and making a huge deal about it? And every other KDE app you can think of. They'll run on Windows too, you know, and you're never going to be able to outcode anyone alone with your Ovi Suite stuff, no matter how good it is.

Once you show the way, the other developers will follow, especially if the initial sales are huge. Make it really, really easy to leverage zeroconf everywhere, in any app.

And make backups work automatically in every compatible app once you pay and sign in to Ovi from KDE, and push updates on Windows using a package manager. You could displace more companies than just Apple.
