Would it have any apps? I cannot see it having a good app store.

It appears to run android apps so I am assuming it will have some degree of app store.

Amazon's Fire Phone runs Android apps as well. How did that go over?
Nokia already released an Android tablet. I see them going with a full Google Android phone.
The only difference is, Nokia helped develop the Sailfish OS, so why wouldn't they?

The unveiling of the N1 came shortly after an announcement on 17 November 2014 by Nokia technologies head Ramzi Haidamus that the company would begin to contract the manufacturing of future Nokia products to third-party companies, to ensure a continued consumer presence for the "valuable" Nokia brand.

You seem to have missed that fact that they recently released a tablet that runs Lollipop. Do you really think they would turn to another OS with low market share?
SIdeloading apps only appeals to enthusiasts. The average Joe or average Jane who doesn't frequent forums such as these wouldn't have a clue about sideloading.Last I checked. It can sideload apps, but the results are inconsistent and prone to freezing. The fact that the hardware is meh at best isn't helping them right now. As I said before. If Nokia could make a compelling piece of hardware with the features I desire at the right price. I'm game.
I agree. I have non-techy family members who have Kindle Fire tablets. They just use the Amazon App Store, but they wouldn't have a clue how to install the Google Play Store on their Kindle Fire tablets. Those same people have Android smartphones, but they also don't have a clue how to sideload the Amazon App Store on their Android smartphones. They'd probably look at me like I was speaking a foreign language if I even mentioned sideloading.Amazon's Fire Phone runs Android apps as well. How did that go over?

Just the fact that you are a member of this site means you're really an enthusiast, not 'bozo'. The relatives of mine that I'm talking about wouldn't even know how to look for any of those other sites. The particular app store that is native to their devices and preinstalled is all they know and care about. They had no interest in even checking out Mobile Nations, despite my involvement.I use Kindle Fire tablets and have a 820 and a Moto G lte. There are a ton of other app stores (1MobileMarket, MoboMarket, GetJar, and many others) that you can get Android apps from just by downloading the app for that store. Even a bozo like myself can download Android apps and never get close to Google's Play store. You only need their Play Store if you want a Google App.
Did they? Last time I checked they only licenced the name to Foxconn who are the real developers of the tablet, Nokia had 0 people working on the tablet.
But so far Sailfish OS has been winning awards at MWC and been called "The Android Alternative" by many media outlets. So perhaps they do have a chance, even then they can start off small (they did sell their whole hardware division after all.) I think Nokia is trying to be unique instead of being part of the endless sea of android devices in which it was proven that there's no profitability unless you're Samsung, or Google.

By the way, the scenario on Android isn't really as Samsung-centred as that. Yes, Samsung is the biggest Android OEM but they are seeing profits decreasing while other Android OEMs that have innovated more then them these last few years have seen growth (like LG for example).
You mean Huawei and Xiaomi? Also please post a source showing that LG is showing growth, no the stocks doesn't count since it's a mysterious and complex set of fake values to determine how much a company is "worth". I can't find it anywhere (then again all articles point to Android as a whole instead of OEMs)

If Nokia would continue to be like Xiaomi (you know, quality hardware + good specs for a low price like the Nokia N1) on their future devices, they have a chance to be on top again...
The comparison to Xiaomi is fitting. The first batch of Nokia's N1 tablet sold out in 4 minutes = 20,000 units, which is incredible. It's the same thing Xiaomi does when they release their phones. To put this into comparison, Nokia is said to have only sold 30,000 units of their 2520 Windows RT tablet...over the entire sales lifetime of that device. The 30,000 number is estimated from the amount of faulty chargers they had to replace https://www.yahoo.com/tech/nokia-recalls-30-000-chargers-for-lumia-2520-tablet-83010505315.html
If Nokia keeps releasing impressive hardware for small $$ amounts, they'll be onto something big.
