http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/n900-sm.jpgNokia has announced that it has started pushing the N900's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/n900) very first post-launch update, but apparently it's not anything crazy like Maemo 6 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Maemo6/) (yeah, we know it's not even close to ready, but you know you want it) or system-wide portrait orientation support -- instead, it's just a minor bump designed to prepare the set for the upcoming launch of the Maemo-flavored Ovi Store (http://www.engadget.com/tag/OviStore/). That's great news for anyone looking for a more unified way to get paid apps on the phone, a significant step towards making Maemo a more consumer-friendly platform than it is at the present. Look for the update to be available globally within the next day or so, both over-the-air and via Nokia Software Update on your desktop.
