= Stupid assertion.

Many good apps on the n900 exist - I suggest actually using your app manager and trying them out.

There is a lack of commercial interest in apps because:
1) a few months ago there was huge uncertainty about the future of maemo
2) Nokia were very, very quiet almost embarrassed to talk about maemo and n900
3) when Nokia did say something one particlular director said no free mapping software for maemo5 and n900 maybe next version of maemo
4) OVI store is an utter, utter fail
5) maemo5 has reached maturity and stability with PR1.2 update but Nokia thought "awwww f*** it!", moved away from maemo5 and decided to start all over again with meego
6) Nokia don't get this "app store" business and unfortunately lost any chance of being a serious competitor with iPhone and Android . (That genuinely is a shame).
7) Nokia are so busy planning and formulating stratagies then life is passing them right by
8) All theses points mean that Nokia is unable to compete with high-end smartphones and have hit their ceiling
9) Nothing will change until some serious management and director changes take place within Nokia.
