I tried to buy the extra levels package and could not. I plan on using it with this nice projector.

It's not really fair. This is the only decent game app thats on Ovi. So everybody that has a N900, downloaded it. The choice on apple store is bigger. There's a lot more competition for them.
But i like the game, wanted to buy the addon pack. I hope they will make a lot more nice games for the N900.

I'm really curious how nokia is going to handle proprietary stuff. By giving us root.. there is virtually no way to get files onto our device that we can't see, and package for ourselves...
That really hinders any and all "buy" software for the N900..
ETA: I suppose Nokia could write it's own complete package management system that sits along side deb's... and encrypts all the files... I guess?

On Linux? Even with the proprietary installers I've used I've still found the libs and binaries that it extracts... but maybe I just haven't gotten many good ones.
I don't make a habbit of paying for software... I make a habbit of donating for software... so there could be stuff already done that I am unaware of.

The problem with Ovi is that the payment system was not in any way tied into the delivery system, which resulted in many people bypassing the payment system. In many cases this was done in complete ignorance of the fact that people wanted paying for it.

Or am I misunderstanding what happened...
I mean.. they usually at least try and make it *difficult* to pirate something..
