I don't doubt that the Ovi Store is a decent way to attract users. I doubt that it's a better way than Extras, though. Both (Ovi Store and Maemo Extras) are enabled by default on the latest firmwares, and the Store can be messy to deal with (login, downloads don't seem to start although they do,...) wheres the Repo-Experience is simple and straightforward,

What Ovi Store can do is give you access to Symbian users.

BTW, where did you get the "more than 100,000 Maemo users" from?
