Just a practicality that would allow me as well as many others to bring only one device instead that two or more.
I guess my previous answer was trying to say that it's hard for us ("The Maemo internal folks") to say or reveal much about what Ovi guys are doing for us. For things that we implement ourselves, we have better control and visibility.

Now, I'm sure they are planning to make the Ovi Maps client the best possible on Maemo, much better than anything else. So one day, definitely yes. But naturally Symbian is currently a much bigger fish than what Maemo is, and they've had far more time to work for Symbian than for us.
