I've just been onto the Ovi store, first time in about a month, and as far as I can tell there isn't a single new app available.

With retrospect, I think having an app download facility on this site has made it way too easy for Nokia to take their foot off the gas and leave it to the Maemo community to develop and support the N900.

In all, we have fewer than 600 apps available for our handsets, while other manufacurers have literally tens of thousands of support features and apps available.

Come on Nokia, sort it out!! You're the ones that benefit financially from a solid support base. Time to work for your money.
While your points are valid...i wouldn't add much hope to things changing in the near future.

Your gonna have to accept that Nokia has no intention in supporting N900 from an app perspective anymore. They've moved onto their 'Meego' project and developers alike have moved on from Maemo or weren't interested to begin with

The consumer base using the N900 (Maemo OS) isn't big enough for many developers to see a solid ROI, economie's of scale drive everything my friend

If i was you i would do one of these things or more...

1. Accept the N900 with its limited mainstream apps/games
2. Get an Iphone or Android handset
3. Wait for Meego and get your hands burnt by Nokia again
