I don't know of a single Maemo developer (incl myself) who got more than around a hundred bucks donated in total for maemo apps.

Don't get me wrong, i don't do this for donations and i never expected to get a significant amount of them. But fact is: The donations you receive for over 100.000 downloads doesn't allow you to pay a single romantic dinner with your wife.

So don't tell anyone wanting to sell his app to go for donations instead. There basically are no donations in the maemo world. I received far more and bigger donations for my other far less popular projects.
