From a technical point of view it is very reasonable to use the manpower to focus on the Harmattan Version. I bet, like the rest of the system UI, this version is then written in QT.

So, they have to port them from GTK to QT. The work has just began or finished. So it is not reasonable to develop the old GTK Version and the new QT Version when the end of GTK is scheduled.

We've got soon full QT 4.6 support for the N900.
Advertised here many times: "Develop as much as you can from now on in QT, not in GTK. So the Programms could run under Harmattan without rewriting the code. (or only small changes)"

So, when the Harmattan Version of OVI Maps is based on QT and it is a, from the system firmware, independent Software. Shouldn't it be so hard to port it for the N900 when the Harmattan Version is relased?

So the only reason to point this to Harmattan is because of the long time of development?


Hmm... just a couple of own thoughts.

I bet, qgil wont answer. I'm sure, he's hacked off by this topic... and I can understand this very good.


Personnally, I already knew about the lack in OVI maps when I ordered the N900. But I thought it's only a early beta. "Wait 3 Month and Nokia will fix it. They got the source from the Symbian Version. No problem. They have only to rewrite the UI." But, I guess, I was mistaken.
