Then they'll get that support, but only on a device with a vendor-supported install.

Just so you know the difference:
Vendor supported
Community supported

Services like OVI Maps, Comes with Music (hopefully), Pay-per-view TV (like the N8 is going to have), support in Ovi Suite for easier management of the device, Ovi store for games and software, Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange... etc etc...
ALL of those are vendor supported. We could jack the code in Android for some Community supported MfE, but otherwise ALL of that is Nokia specific and has -nothing- to do with MeeGo proper.

If Nokia wants to make them open enough that the Community can support (or install) them then sure, but those are not parts of MeeGo. We'll know more once actual, vendor supported MeeGo devices arrive.

You may not like to hear it, but that's how it is.
