That's one reason. But the main reason is small userbase. Why waste time trying to develope and sell a product to a small userbase, who may not even buy your product in the first place?

That's why Meego, Symbian 3, and QT 4.6 compatibility is important, it provides the userbase.

Mainly because of the lack of qt 4.6 on PR 1.1.1.

I´m sure that after we get official PR 1.2 (my guess=tomorrow) we are getting more apps to the ovi store.

Yeah I have a feeling too that the PR1.2 will be released tomorrow.

It´s still a mess?
- Have people reported about bugs in maemo.org Q&A / repositories
- If it´s reported then how long it has been broken?
-- Is it confirmed? Links to bug?
- Who is responsible in fixing that part of maemo.org?
- Why there is stuff in extras at all? Or is it that some people tolerate broken/fck up systems better than other people :|

After i have joined here it feels like whole place is just standing still. Luckily after 5 months the stylesheet of this webpage was fixed :D (clicking threads with too many pages was impossible, wonder how maintainers used this webpage with their N900s)

I believe that given QT is coming out, which is compatible with Symbian, Maemo/Meego and Windows mobile, once you code an app it will work across all.

So once qt is released on N900, we will see a huge number of apps (relatively speaking) from Rovio, Shazam (as shown in the video), accuweather (again on qt video) etc.

This is in the immediate future, in the long term as apps are rewritten for Symbian 3 in qt or meego/maemo we will benefit also.

Not having apps now...just because we are still early adopters..the phones still being launched in some markets (e.g. India) so it should have a bright future in terms of apps at least

This is a fairly standard resolution, so that is not it. I'd rather explain it like this:

"You Are An Early Adopter".

I wouldn't expect a huge flood with PR 1.2. Remember Meego isn't out yet, Symbian 3 is just coming out and a beta version of the QT sdk just came out recently.
