As I said applications wrote with GTK will need more work to port it to Meego than QT applications (GTK apps in general, not just Sygic), isn't that true???
Nokia is advising developers to choose QT for some time now. If GTK is equally supported like you said, what is the point of that?? Supported is different from seamlessly portability...

Sygic doesn't look like GTK application and my guess is that they are using their own graphics toolkit (maybe OpenGL based?), because the applicaiton looks the same as in iPhone for example.

This was the speech from Nokia, that Qt will bring the benefit of carrying your apps between mobiles.

It was just a doubt, but an important one if you are thinking on spending 80+ euros on a GPS app, not to mention that we already paid 600 euros for N900 and Nokia is offering free navigation for much cheapier devices...

This is my last reply to you, russo_br. If you wish to have a decent conversation with me, just let me know.
And how do you base your opinion? Have you made a Maemo app? The only thing that will need "porting" is moving away from Hildon, which isn't earth shattering or cause to think porting will take 30 developers months to do.
Nokia purchased Trolltech, creators of Qt. Nokia wants to push Qt across to Symbian as well. Their advice is nothing more than marketing. If you are not interested in supporting Symbian devices then you don't have to use Qt.

I asked again about it states:
Sygic is testing its navigation software on N900 and other Nokia phones (new symbian maybe). So, you dont have to wait too much, maybe it will be released in the late summer (august).

Late summer, are they kidding is was supposedly ready pre Christmas? The lack of any concrete info unfortunaltely still leads me to the conclusion that this app will never see the light of day 
I had hoped that with the Ovi Paid apps fix in the last PR that it would allow Sygic to release. Maybe they are waiting for the bigger firmware update?
