Yes, for something like Psiloc´s World Traveller (http://www.worldtraveller.biz) or WorldMate (http://www.worldmate.com) I´d pay up to $40-50, just somewhere I could pull together my flight, hotel and rental car plans in one place.

I spend between 33% and 50% of the year on the road so that´s something that would be good to have at hand, saved in a app.

I fail to see why Nokia can get OVI store working for their other phones, but not the N900. The phone's been out for what, 6months or so? That's an eternity in tech time. If you can't hit the ground running, you may as well not even bother racing.

It's pretty obvious the only reason why this is not fixed yet is because they have not allocated enough resources to fixing it. What they have put their resources towards is purely speculative, but it's not the N900 that's for sure.

I don't understand why you have that question. Have you looked at the repositories?

i am not talking about the repositories. I am talking about official release to Extras, Ovi & Maemo Select.

The right thing to do is to ask OP to define "Huge & reliable number". After that is done, it's much easier to talk about the actual question.

About Ovi: If you calculate the frequency of the applications added there, probably in few years.
About others: If you search and ask the known vendors (hadango, epocware, smartphoneware, lonely cat games...) of mobile applications they will tell you something like: “When there will be sufficient devices on the market to make this bussines profitable.” This is all about profitability!

It seems from the way Nokia is going to take with the Meego endeavour that isn´t going to happen for the next 2 upcoming generations of devices so we can count out anything good happening for the N900 as far as that is concerned.
