Sorry, I disagre with your disagreement : They're will never be tonnes of apps on OVI :

Lowest price tag for the developper to put ONE app on OVI : around $500
and that's only if you are a company, as individual are not allowed to publish on OVI

So as a developer, i won't put any freeware app or low prices apps on ovi, and maybe, just maybe, if my paid app is very very successful on the iphone, will i take time to learn all the arcarnes of s60 sdk + the hassle of the signing(.cert .key) to see if i can score a few more dollars out of ovi.

Beside, for the iphone i have only one hardware specifications(more or less), for Nokia I have to spend sooooooo much time checking what the phone can or can't do.

OVI will kind of fail because Nokia thinks it should make money on the developer.

Lack of multitasking on iPhone = iPhone fail. However, so many iPhone users are clueless to this fact. They aren't aware that this is the case...at least the ones I've spoken with. Call them mobile monotaskers. I'm not sure how long Apple can keep them in the dark to this fact before this will have to change. <br><br>For me, I can't imagine a day where I'm not running Sports Tracker during my morning jog, while listing to tunes, taking the occasional pic to assign to my route and share with others, and, of course, taking the occasion call. It's all in a days work for us true mobile multitaskers. I agree. Lack of multitasking on iPhone = iPhone fail. However, so many iPhone users are clueless to this fact.

Certification will be paid for via revenue microstreams the challenge will be developing platform normalization strategy over time.

Yes users will have to pay attention to what they are doing. but we are used to this with our PCs or more to the points macs whom performance is 90% dependent on free memory.

If I couldn't browse the web, listen to last.fm on mobbler, while tweeting on Gravity the treadmill would not be nearly as tolerable.
