Not anymore :) We have full access to the hardware from the OtherOS (geohot has revealed the exploit).

The problem is how easy it is to buy application vs. get the cracked one.

[edit] sorry for the off-topic

Just having access to hardware means nothing and unless there is a way to run unsigned code or modify firmware....its useless. With that said, we haven't even seen any "Hello World" yet which means that we still have a long way to go.

I won't lie telling that I've never installed something like that, but with time I know realize that this can only hurt our own devices future, which we invested a lot of bucks to get it. I sincerely hope that Nokia makes Maemo the most uncrackable mobile for paid apps, since that would attract many developers. Until now the only succesful case I am aware is Sony PS3, which is still unbreakable....
Impossible.

To do that, they'd have to eliminate root access, or cryptographically sign the kernel for device-specific factory deployments (like RIM). That would render the device useless for its current target market. I guarantee that 90% of its current users would abandon the platform if Nokia did that, and I'm pretty sure they know it.

I wouldn't worry that much about DRM support. If the phone starts to gain popularity, people like me will start writing proprietary apps and selling them.

There's an opportunity for a fresh start here.

Sygic is Listening

In the latest release update of the software, Sygic have taken onboard users comments and have now enabled the option to close or minimise the screen from the top menu bar. Whilst this might not seem like a great feature to write about, it is more than useful when you are in the middle of a journey and want to quickly check some emails or do a little web browsing but keep your current route active. So yes, this is a nice touch and it shows that the developers at Sygic are listening to feedback from testers.

Hm, according to http://www.sygic.com/index.php/en/how-to-buy.html it seems that the Eastern Europe package (1980MB) contains maps not present in the whole Europe one (1810 MB) probably due to
Quote:
Maps with transit roads only: Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Belarus, Moldova, Montenegro, Bosnia - Herzegovina, Romania, Ukraine.
It there a technical size limitation for this?

The same binary almost certainly won't work, but it should be portable relatively easily. Can you find out if there are any plans for this?

Thanks!

Can I ask you when Sygic update the new release? I think if Sygic still modify its software Nokia will not release it in Ovi Store until it will be considered "stable" so we still have to wait

I have been saying this all along. There have been a few little teething problems that have been worked on so I would assume that this has been the reason for the delay and not the rumour about the ovi store.

In my last contact with Sygic yesterday I was told that the release is days away.

in other threads i did see quotes like "in March we (Nokia) hope to have paid support in OVI"
so if that is true, then i don't think Sygic will be there before that..

Having Sygic available in OVI doesn't mean that it won't get released earlier. If the reports I have received are correct then I suspect that it will be released before being available in OVI. But then again, that's my best guess of what is going on, based upon the information I have received.
