But at least give us a chance to buy it. Or enable ads on it or whatever. Just don't leave early adopters out in the cold.
Now, 9000 can be 9000 users buying at 1€. We don't have that many users. Or, 900 users at 10€. Now that's steep, and there is no way in hell that you get 900 users to shell 10€, plus tax, plus shop cuts EVERY MONTH. Or, 90 users at 100€. You get the idea.
As for banners, the rule of thumb says 1€ per 1000 clicks or 1.000.000 views. It varies, some sites pay 50 $ per mil, but even so, 9000€ is some 12K$, so that's 24000 clicks or 24 million views.
Of course, the bandwidth requirements would kill the very idea of portable player.
You'll need a contract with a single company, on-disk banners, they pay less. Plus, the target niche is 1000 freeleechers. You get more coverage paying someone to hold a sign in a bus station.
No math will make this work. She's dead, Jim.

It was pretty obvious Maemo was dead as soon as Meego was announced after the situation with PR1.2, PR1.3.
It's lame and I hate Nokia for it, but I think it's time everyone came to that realisation. I stopped checking this forum regularly for apps, themes and such a few months back now...
I'm surprised Instinctiv didn't pull development earlier to be honest, and no one knows if Meego will break through the Android and iOS market share yet.

Time to uninstall Instinctiv. No support means no future.

For those looking for a new player with gapless, crossfade, folder browsing and masses of potential, Rockbox has been ported to the N900.
