In other words, either implement a proper application store and let people make money, or do not bother.
For developers to be attractive, should be good revenue. Not cents or few dollars, because of the nature of software development: it is not easy, and if there are not good tools for integrated debugging, etc, and even with the tools it is not easy to create a professional application, a game... not talking here about a simple widget that has a RSS feed, that can be done with no programming.

What dev tools Maemo has, like IDE, nice and friendly IDE Integrated Dev Env....? For C++?

When will be Java supported?

Is any plan for MS Silverlight and C# coming to Maemo?

How good is the IDE for QT?
