I'm all for supporting open standards. If Apple holds true to their word then I'm all for supporting Facetime.

I wonder how much work it took Rovio to port Angry Birds over (likewise for any of the developers porting iPhone games over to the N900). But what I find most interesting about Rovio is their different business strategies.

Charge 99 cents on the Apple App store and give level packs updates for free (to keep them on the chart)

Give away the game free on the N900 but charge for additional level packs (and allow us to use custom levels ). Now a killer feature would be to integrate the custom levels so they exist happily with the paid for levels. I'm happy to fork over another 1.99 whenever I see another Angry Birds level pack in the Ovi Store. Of course recent Ovi Store policies (redownloading up to 5 times may kill that if I can't figure out a better backup strategy).
