Regarding p.2, I don't see why QT applications (which currently keep Ovi Store as #2 app store behind Apple) shouldn't work on N9. QT and all its favours are there on the device, so no problem with that. Also, there is already Myriad Alien Dalvick which basically is wrapper for Android apps you want to run on MeeGo. And applications from WebOS were also accessible on N900 for quite long, it shouldn't be different story with N9. Even MIDP is supported, unlike pain of converting it into APK in Google case. Though I'd prefer QT apps, naturally.

We still don't know how this will be handled though. And in my previous post, I did speculate that developer support probably wasn't such a big reason anyway, but that mobile ads were, so we probably agree about the dev support.

And the N9 does seem nice, but I haven't seen anything that really brings it forward compared to the competition.
