there is a thread here with a list of available apps and there r just 2 devs so far!!
nokias utter silence is more worst than anything imho...my main concern is the firmware updates and bug fixes..all i want is nokia to support this device to its full potential and not hang early adopters and release a new device leaving bugs or sf enhancements on n900, afterall nokia is known for this right? someone said here before if nokia would have been apple we would have 5 or 6 iphones already!

I think that having an OVI store is more like a symbolic gesture on multiple levels:
- it's a checkbox to check in all the reviews and comparisons. It's easier to explain that there are only a few apps than no store at all
- it's very important to attract as many developers as possible, and they have to see how will they make money here
- also very important for the average end-user; for them even adding a new repository by hand is way over what's acceptable hassle
- games, games, games
So whether most of us here need or care about an OVI store, for Maemo to be a commercial success for Nokia and for Nokia to move toward their stated goal of increasing their services sales, a healthy OVI store is a must.
