Ah, commercial developers. That's an entirely different subject from community developers.

Let's be clear, when I talk about development and developers, I am almost never talking about the commercial sort unless I explicitly say so. Community developers are the only thing really worth discussing in the community (especially from the standpoint of what's released with SDKs). Commercial developers have an entirely separate support relationship with Nokia to community developers, and you can trust that a commercial developer will be well aware of what's going to be offered on the platform by the OEM if they're planning an application like this.

You and I aren't involved in the commercial support structure nor the relationship between Nokia and commercial developers, nor do we have any control over it or input for it. Community development and developers, on the other hand, we do. So it's not worth wasting much breath on the former.

Really, truly, commercial developers are not our concern here. They have their own support channels with access to their own information.

Give me a justifiable example of a community mapping application that would care about what mapping software Nokia's bundling with the platform (beyond the fact that they will be bundling something) and you might just have a point, but I'll make it easy, you can't because there isn't.
