Thanks sio2interactive.

Personally I think the handling of the OVI store is a disaster too.

I agree more commercial software will definately help the platform.

Off with his head.
The mob has spoken!

cashclientel: Hahahah

Honestly I don't think the whole thing is such a big deal...

Im the first one who was able to a stable working out-of-the-box 3D commercial games out there on the platform with integrated payment.

At least you gotta gimme creditz on this

Just hope its going to inspire other game developers, and push the platform to gain more maturity

Cuz right now honestly, it can't compete with ie: iPhone, which actually I would REALLY appreciate... you know shake a bit Apple from its current comfort zone

You know what I mean

Hehehe

Humm qwerty12 how much you pay for Bounce Evolution? and is this a game or a demo

And just as a reminder... look what happen with the commercial version of angry bird a few weeks/month back... They put a package commercial, and then realize that people could still get it for free...

If I was Rovio, I would be pissed... but maybe that's just me

Look, he's posted his sudo apology and justification.

Does it make it ok? This is a matter of opinion.

At the end of the day, I'm going to argue that we need him (his efforts that is) more than he needs us so maybe we should accept his apology and move on.

Yes, I deleted my post after I realised the stupidity of what I said...

That said, Rovio is certainly commercial and it is a technology demo, yes, but I haven't seen the "full version" =)

Considering the ramifications of this statement and the fact that many, many, people use their devices to perform financially sensitive transactions I would submit that any applications submitted by this company should be banned.

Well, on the contrary... I would personally feel ALOT more safe dealing with someone like me... that means that I know what Im doing

And won't let "security flaws" be integrated within my own code

is banning people more important than fixing the flaws in our system ?

Just because a bug exists does not mean that it should be exploited. As seen here, it does the publisher and community a great amount of disservice in addition to being a lapse in ethics. The Maemo platform may be immature, but putting out a product that has not received its proper shakeout could tarnish Maemo's image. I strongly believe that the process in which programs get promoted to Extras is here to help, and the advantages of following it includes learning opportunities from community feedback and a better quality product.
