We know from My Nokia Blog (http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/...cedSystemPrefs) that an update to Home Screen Settings (thanks for a great app Vesuri!) was submitted on or before May 16 and that this update has still not been released by Nokia QA to the store.

Are there other apps/updates being held back?

Is N9/MeeGo QA just cut to the bone or is Nokia intentionally hampering N9 ecosystem growth?

Maybe I'm just frustrated as I would love to see more apps for this great phone and wind up using my Pre3 much of the time as a result, but 2 weeks to QA an app update?

My App for N9 was published yesterday. At first, I didn't send username/password required for testing (I made client for small discussion server). I sent credentials on request and after exactly one week from that, it was published.

My app goViihde was first stalled due to some maintenance stuff but then released.

But the update also was pending and I sent an email to dev support.
After changing some emails nothing happened. Fortunately a former Nokia employee who had contacts with the QA people helped to get the app published. Thanks to him that he was so eager to get the new functionality that he contacted QA and helped to get the update out.

Generally QA is fine, but should not take more than a week IMO.

So if you are having problems I think it's better to contact dev support immediately than to wait for QA to contact you cause that might never happen.

Keep on coding those apps to this wonderful phone despite that Nokia QA takes forever...

Actually it was submitted on May 8th. It finally got published on Jun 1st. Some Nokia Store policies had changed but weren't communicated and this partially caused the delay. However, I definitely agree that the QA process is far from optimal and it does cause frustration for the developers as well.
