@vi_ : well, maybe, but i just tried to look at the case from the nokia point of view
@MaddogG :
1. And by whom? By google? Who do You think was first, before big time developers smelled the money? Why the big D's invested time? Because of the community, who started with all those little do nothing apps.
2. OF COURSE it is about money. And here is the point: Average user in lets take... february 2010 looks on apps base and sees: Android: 10k apps (just guessing, but much more than maemo anyway) Maemo: 200 apps... HMMMM what to take? Android of course. Will he boy nokia? NO. Will Nokia earn money? NO. Will Nokia earn money from the partnership with M$? Dunno, But i can GUESS, that Microsoft can encourage bigger and smaller devs to write apps. Desperate step perhaps. Time will show.
3. I didn't say i want more. I have android market on NITDroid. I have extras-devel and testing. Me, You, and few others here would like to take a risk. Average customer would not. Averages see 600 apps. And 600 is to few for averages... AND for Nokia. Sorry
