</div>Yes and no. There you have stable apps focused on Diablo. How many of<br>
them would raise a WOW! from a new real user getting Maemo for the first<br>
time in her hands? And how many apps not in that list because they are<br>
unstable or don't even exist in Maemo might have a huge potential<br>
combined with the Fremantle capabilities?<br>
<br>
This exercise requires more imagination from all of us than just going<br>
to extras and see what is in there.<br>

</div>Starting point yes, but think wide. To propose concrete benchmarks:<br>
things that would impress even your non-geeky your friends. Things that<br>
tech bloggers wouldn't like to miss in their Maemo 5 review. Things<br>
that, in fact, don't exist entirely today but can be a reality next year.<br>

<br>
</div>We don't want to predefine a limit, even if our resources will be<br>
limited and as a principle we prefer to showcase a more limited set of<br>
applications each one of them being just excellent. A main reason is<br>
that the only fact that the Maemo community selects an app a 'candidate<br>
for Fremantle star' should be helpful for that app to get community<br>
attention and contributions, with or without the direct support of Nokia.<br>
<br>
We are more interested in good level of creativity and potential. If<br>
only 3 projects get there, fine. If there are 30, all the better. But<br>
getting 30 by lowering expectations sounds like a poor trade off.<br>
