No OTA yet.

The OVI store is supposed to get a big revamp and there should be a bunch of new apps.

Quote:

First up – new games join the veritable arcade already on offer in Ovi Store. Jurassic 3D Rollercoaster, Zen-bound, Angry Birds (level pack), Sygic, Kroll, Weatherbug, and GoGadget are all available to keep you entertained. Important to note though that Ovi Store will do a full switchover this week Thursday, May 27, so these games and other for-purchase apps will show up then.

N900 has not a so big app store as Iphone/android stores? And, so what?

- 95% of these apps are [censored] crap apps, like small useless games, tools which are all the same (or nearly), and not free.
- Hardwares are different, but N900 is reliable, almost stable (no reboot or freezes for me)
- Usefull apps are present on the Repositories, then choose which are usefull for your usage.

Maemo is more a community than a business club. have a look on threads here, helping each other offers much interest than download, use, and finally remove apps. We share, discovers the possibilites of our smartphone,

For sure, this community is really smaller than others... and? What's the problem? I can assume that reduces the app repo, increase waiting about one specific soft, but is it really a problem?

I can't understand coms like "It is [censored] too small, the others products have much apps". You can't buy a mobile like the N900 without understanding that is a really specific world. It's not like installing Windows on a PC! If you choose Linux on your desktop, you must know that there's some points where Windows is "better" (commercial games for example).

So... stop crying: you're not happy with your N900? Sell it to somebody who'll appreciate the "spirit" of an open OS, a quite nice community, and go lock yourself with commercial solutions of the other products.
