Okay, Iphone 4 and HTC may have been introduced a yr after the n900, but the n900 and n8 still remains the best tech nokia has to offer and in terms of that, nokia is still far behind. And yes apple sucks dark stinky holes, but you have to admit, they know exactly how to market their devices. I mean just about every advertisment and movie i see today has that abominable iphone shown in em.
Although Nokia isn't necessarily bankrupt, it sure seems like they're heading down that path with their lack of support for all things sensible, namely flash and big name company support.
I admit that I'm raging but I just couldn't help it, it does seems that with all the things they refuse to do, like provide flash support, enable ovi store support, and such, not to mention that they are ditching symbian. Being bankrupt or short on money was the only sensible thing I could see as being nokia's problem. It's either that or they hired paul the octopus to make all their recent decisions in the market.

I mean even the best technology they have to offer (n900) seems yrs behind in terms of technology when compared to the HTC and iphone 4.
...oh wait, it WAS released a year ago 
.Seriously, comparing a phone released a year ago with a phone released not-so-long-ago is just silly. Bue yeah, Nokia's phones after the omap2420 phones were mediocre, or "just good enough" at most. specially compared to the N95. Juat look at the N96 and the INNOV8, the INNOV8 would eat the N96 specs-wise. LOL, even the N95 would kick it's battery cover.

What I was saying was that iPhone and N900 are fundamentally very different devices for different people. It is also understandable that there is more apps for Iphone than N900 because:
- There is much larger amount of iPhones out there
- Users are willing to pay for the apps (because they can get them only from Apple store/they obiviously are willing to spend some money when getting such an expensive phone with operator lock)
If it was cheap to port apps for Maemo/Meego app developer could live with smaller customer base and we would get more apps in the future. But is it so, that is what I'm curious about.

Why aren't there more apps? Because there are only 1 and half people working on one app at a time.

I'm still not sure that any of that is an issue, here. The main problem is the company itself, not so much the excrement of the beast.
