It certainly is not for apps developers to make money selling apps. Could be the true benefit is motivating people to buy the phones for which it works, enabling users to enhance their own mobile experiences. Key, however, is figuring out how to get developers to write for Nokia. The most popular apps, like Pocket Express, need motivation to invest in the platform.

But it helps them safeguard iPhone's marketshare with some killer apps and add amazing value to the iPod Touch that even the ZuneHD cannot catchup with. Sridhar, you are dead right! Nokia should look to launch apps for low end phones and extend their lead there. At the same time look to enhance the smartphone offerings.

You are quite right about that. Ultimately the large user base is a big advantage, which gives them a headstart over many others. Also, rather than take Apple head on for the content and app in the higher end of the spectrum (Apple has taken years to perfect web and desktop apps) ... I wonder if Nokia should try and find applications more suited for medium/ low end phones ... and non-internet enabled phones ... and create a strong defensible area for themselves ... may be mobile-email integration, value added services etc. “seems to have lot of potential in future as the number of Nokia Mobile users is far greater than Apple Iphone users.”
