Yes, It could have been nice if the new Nokia N8 uses the Google Android OS but it’s not.
A lot of the web apps that we see are only available on either the iOS or Android. So far, Foursquare and Skype are the popoular apps available on the OVI store that I find useful for me. It could have been great for Nokia to open up its doors to the open source market just like what Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and HTC did.

On Q3 of 2010 Symbian OS which Nokia uses has the largest market share in mobile platforms as shown on the graph. But most Apps are still made for the Iphone and Android which leads me to ask, will the latest transformation of the Symbian OS to open source spark the developers to start developing for them as well?
The N8 will be the first smartphone to use the new Symbian^3 OS, I hope that more website apps will be available. Let’s hope that us Nokia users will start to see the Mashable, Facebook, Gowalla, TripAdvisor and Etc. available the the OVI store. 
Nokia did a pretty good job at the first official interactive unboxing of the N8 unit and I’m gonna say this, If this was available on the Android I’m gonna buy one.
