Everything I've read suggest it'll build up quite rapidly in the coming weeks.
We should have at least a few hundred commercial grade apps at launch, & even more non-commercial.

Please don't give up, we're all going through a though time now I know!
Everything management's doing/done suggests they don't want the N9 to be a success.
So we need devs to be even more positive than before...

That's fantastic.
But would you say it's faulty, as was claimed at the beginning of the year?

So long is the inbuilt functionality impresses, which I suspect it will.
And there will almost certainly be many more free or lesser quality apps.

Assuming you're dev'ing via the commercial program, & not the community one.

As was suggested in Feb. as-to-why it couldn't be embraced by carriers.
Always thought that assertion was overly simplistic....
*but from what I've read, I'm quite certain there'll be more than that.

Oh that's great to hear, sounds like a useful app, may be one of my 1st purchases.

Oh cool, so not flimsy and likely to break anytime soon!

It's the same construction used in the Nokia E7 which is really sturdy.
No way this was blocked by the carriers.

^ No that's actually incorrect....
I doubt mozilla.og would pay the license for the signed NPAPI binary.
We need Nokia to pay the license for a signed binary for their customized Fennec.
This is what jolo is trying to convince management to do now.
