Hello aks,
It is true that ReadyNAS NV+v2 really had short shelf life compared to the OS6 and that is the only ARM based NAS with OS5 that has been released. All ReadyNAS released after the OS5 are OS6, like Ixa, I do not think ReadyNAS 100 series will be discontinued soon as that is the most basic ReadyNAS device, its difference from the 200 series is just the RAM. However, if you are to buy a ReadyNAS device, I recommend getting at least a 300 series for better performance compared to the ones for home use.
As for apps, ReadyNAS apps at http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9 are for free, these are to be installed to ReadyNAS and not to any other HW, for iOS apps for ReadyNAS, if the app is developed by NETGEAR then it should be for free. There maybe some apps available from third party developers that are paid apps.
