One of the early crowd favorites in Nokia's Ovi Store for Maemo (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/) appears to be the game Angry Birds, which is available with a €3 level pack -- problem is, plenty of folks have discovered a way around actually paying the cash, which becomes a big problem for the developer very, very quickly. The level pack has since been removed, probably the best move until Nokia can figure out what's going on here and issue a patch. In the meantime, looks like it's back to the ol' repositories.Nokia's Maemo Ovi Store looking rickety, 'beta' label well-deserved (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nokias-maemo-ovi-store-looking-rickety-beta-label-well-deser/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:05:00 EST.
