P.S. Nothing new in this though, this has been discussed in several threads several times already.

Commercial apps on Ovi may be another story, but who is interested in them in the first place?

So the average user would be reliant on the community to provide the app repositories?
P.S. We are getting quite far from the thread topic by now

OK, but these two updates will be for next, let say, five-six months. Then?
I am sure most of N900 users have thoughts to use their devices at least for year-year and a half...
Think about it.
