Definitely, even though I'm a developer, from a consumer perspective the closed apps available on the device are extremely important. Obviously I want upgradable firmware and apps which is something we're currently missing in Maemo at the moment.

Also, in response to the post about Nokia providing maps free for MeeGo, well, I don't think that'll happen, becuase that is a weapon Nokia can use against other possible vendors. On the other hand if they want high adoption of the MeeGo platform from other vendors then they'll have to supply it to make it more of a competition to Android. They don't do this for Symbian and look at the other Symbian based handset vendors.

So we'll see. Without license fees there's no insentive for Nokia to provide a mapping framework for MeeGo. I don't think they'll see my previous comment about competition being good for them as I do, but, I truely do believe that competition will help, indeed force them, to become greater than they are now.
