Can you clear up the negatives here - did they forbid them from releasing it, or demand that they release it?

I don't really care who's fault it is or not as a customer.

Sygic has their own webshop, why not sell the product there if it's finished.

I agree with you, but my guess is that Sygic has some commitment with Nokia. I learned that their product uses Naviteq maps, which is owned by Nokia...

Anyway, it is obvious that they are loosing customers like you due to the delay. And Nokia is getting its image affected as well. Bad business for both companies...

Thanks, that was a noob question now you told me that... but anyway I am still curious about it.

If all the Meego strategy was really being worked for some time between Nokia and Intel (instead an overnight decision which changed all the roadmap), I guess Nokia should have told their most important partners like Sygic under NDA, at least would be the ethical thing to do to preserve Sygic and other developers investment.

Even Meego supporting GTK it would be harder (read expensive) for Sygic to support both Maemo 5 and Meego source codes, while they could have done it with Qt in order to reduce their efforts.

I have e-mailed them back for N900 confirmation but I have only ever had correspondance with them about the N900 in the past. It figures that this would follow suit. Will post back when I get reply.
