IMO: No it's not. See what happened with 64bit windows support. It's not ready yet (!).

It's not an issue of whether "it is possible" from the developer PoV. It's mostly like this: why write an app that needs adoption for 123745329876 different hardware platforms? And how can this app be supported properly? This breaks the whole "one global app repository" idea, unless something like Debian happens inside Nokia (which I doubt).

Android solves this by using Java and Apple solves this by having one platform. This is somewhat similar to the problem of supporting different OS versions.
