Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry. I understand you had a question with regards to becoming a publisher on our network. We currently do not support the maemo5 platform. However, we are constantly improving our product offering and if we are able to support this in the future we will be sure to let our publishers know. I would encourage you to continue checking our website for any updates.
Best regards,
AdMob Support

fms, as far as I know, none of them provides a Maemo-compatible app shop. Unless I missed something? The way I see it, the only shop providing maemo apps is Ovi.
The problem I'd like to solve is the strange situation with Ovi store.
If you really want to provide another distribution channel and charge developers for using it, you should carefully consider what unique value your channel will provide when compared to the existing channels.

I don't even consider clickgamer - I don't believe that the typical maemo user would touch it with a 10' pole. It looks cheap and on par with the "send 123 to 456 to get your crazyfrog ringtone". I don't see a specific area for maemo either, so as a customer I'd completely ignore it.

You are not Nokia, so you will not "solve" anything related to Ovi store. Simply ignore it. You can sell applications through a dozen other channels available on the Net.
That's why I want to create an alternative. If Nokia gets its act together and starts caring again, good. If not, the first serious maemo-targetted app store has the chance of being the de-facto standard
