App. I'd like to see an option of either notification on my phone itself, or a notification on my PC. I agree that there needs to be a vast increase in the use of the Downloads!

How many copies has it sold? Thanks for telling me about the Nokia Software Market, I just found out about it! Nothing very social about it, and it is a shame Nokia is taking such a high cut as you said. The most important part of a platform is the developer support and I certainly wouldn't want to be gouged for my work. What is the most popular S60 application? How many copies has it sold?

Nokia already has more or less what you describe - Nokia Software Market. But they take a huge slice of each sale - understandable, considering all the staffing they need to do to keep the site going. But not all developers are happy being part of such a system. I think you're exagerating the need for a system slightly though. Finding an app for (e.g.) my Nokia N93 takes 15 seconds on AAS or Handango etc. Downloading the trial SIS takes a couple of seconds more. And double-clicking on the SIS installs it wirelessly on the device. PC Suite will already be loaded for most people and, contrary to your experience, I think it works very well for basic file xfer and installation.
