Nokia is trying to build a phone to basicly do what the I phone did 3 years ago. Nokia aimed low with the N900 and hit low by releasing an unfinished product without many of the basic features of the most basic phones. And in case you have not been paying attention to whats going on in the world, its not about hardware any more, its what you can do with it, today. That means apps and app support. Which Nokia is severely lacking in.
For all the griping I have been hearing about the Apple app store and the restrictions, The OVI store it seems is even a bigger pain in the ***. Here is my favorite, nokia politely telling developers to F@$# off
"EDIT: Chanse Arrington, an employee of Nokia have stated through twitter than Ovi store isn’t the only way to deliver applications, and free applications will be available through Maemo.org.
Yeah way to go Nokia
Of coarse Apple will update the Iphone, the next incarnation will have full flash support and have 64gb of internal storage. and there will probably be 150,00 apps in the app store by then.

I have to disagree. Nokia is trying to redefine the market with the n900 and like devices. They are saying that their apporach to how a mobile device is the best available and it is what consumers want. An example of this is plug-in's vs. apps. Think about it... it is a 'revolutionary' concept to the clear majority of smart phone users. its saying you don't need an app for that because it is/can be part of the way the device works.

The n900 is not a smartphone in sense of making a phone smart but a comphone - a computer with phone feature.
The actual difference in technology may be small, but is a revolutionary step as we are now free to make it do what we need instead of what someone will let us do with it.

I wouldn't say that that's the goal of using the Maemo platform, but it is a huge part of how Nokia thinks a mobile device should be - features should be included with the 3rd party application space left to those things that truly enrich and magnify the built-in capabilities of the device.
