What steams my clams about some commercial partners is:
Where have they been for the past 3 years?
Instead of providing apps for a device when the apps are most needed... like when the devices are first rolled out and then growing their business along side of this new community, too many times it seems that these partners step in only after a market has been developed by a good FOSS program.

I constantly get OMWeather popping up the details page when I just meant to wake up the tablet's screen, or something else. I wish the details screen would only pop up if you tap-and-hold the applet for a period of time, or something...
Just to be clear, I love OMWeather. One of my favorite apps for the tablet.

Hi, I wrote the Foreca applet and just to let you know:
This app was a quick test project for Foreca to get an idea of what it would be like to develop for Maemo. No money certainly exchanged hands, but since Foreca has had commercial ventures with Nokia, we are registered as a commercial partner.
It's been nice to read comments from happy users and improvement ideas from others. I've been reading this forum a long time now and if we're able to allocate more resources for development in the future, I'm hoping to write something here and maybe get some interactive feedback from you guys. We're not a big bad company

Well, that is what the "commercial" part of commercial partner is all about.
Most of the time unless there is a market, there is no commerce to be had from that. Not all companies are as big as say Google to be able to create a market. They only jump in once there IS a market.
That's not a reason to always blame them. In fact instead of being anti to these commercial companies because they were nowhere to be seen for the last 3 years, I think the community should be welcoming of them as well as other open source partners so that we have more of a ecosystem in the next 3 years.
