Having more companies linking themselves to ovi and music store, etc will make this action stronger. Orange had that dispute with Nokia saying they wouldn't sell the N81 if Nokia continue with the idea of having the music store, right, well, what if Nokia, Samsung, LG (3 of the top5) starting having this. What would Orange sell? I think it would give more money (since more handsets have it) and more strength to the OVI brand and to Nokia itself. I think they should.

I have no idea either. But I'm wondering, are there any S60 apps out there that ONLY work on Nokia devices? As far as I know, anything designed for Nokia S60 devices work on all S60 devices regardless of the handset maker. I wonder, is there even a way for develops to block this? Good question!

Ovi to me sounds so far intended to further increase brand loyalty and leverage sales of even more Nokia handsets. They will likely open it for their own non-N-Series S60 series phones to some extent and eventually. There was an interesting claim from a Nokia exec. saying there are "architectural reasons" N-Gage cannot be easily introduced to E-Series. Bogus or not, would be interesting to hear more about that claim. Probably not, at least for the other manufacturers and at least for the time being.
