Why send me an email.

Your MyNokia or Ovi account has some other device besides the N900 selected as your main device. This is why they send you messages you can't really benefit from.

I got the EMail also and I have only a N900 registered at ovi.
I guess there are many people working at Nokia since the good old times they made only the Nokia rubber boot's. Without any kind of technical knowledge! (not only the gumboots)

AR doesn't *need* a compass. GPS can get a general heading, which can be tracked with accelerometers (IIRC the N900 has two?). Alternatively, you can just do a fuzzy match of the camera input...

I figure they were just trying to rub it in that we still don't have a decent OVI store with cool apps even after PR1.2
