Sygic should cost for maemo exactly the same as for android or winmob, symbian...
that is at the moment:
europe:
79.99 EUR
US, canada and mexico:
62.99 EUR
australia and new zealand:
59.99 EUR
and so on...

I am somewhat worried that this app will ever see the light of day in the OVI store. The Angry Birds paid for add on is still not there after they found fault with the payment mechanism, that was weeks ago. I have not seen any paid for apps since and suspect that this is what will hold up the launch of Sygic. Therefore I fear it could be months away unless Sygic offer it direct

At least third companies like Sygic are paying some attention to the customer request on this forum, since Nokia doesn't seem to be listening complains, from this forum and also discussions.nokia.com...

Oh my god, does this mean there is an iPhone Next Gen inside my N900?!?!? Some evil Nokia takeover by Apple? On Halloween night my beautiful black N900 turns into a white slab, the qwerty falls off and the battery is magically soldered permanently into place?

Latest update I have from a Sygic representative this afternoon is that they are frustrated by the delays as well but it seems like it is only a matter of days now before it is ready. 'Keep the Faith'

Probably this was already discussed, but does anyone know if the technical problem related to paid apps is just on Ovi Store side??
If they need to update BOTH the Ovi Store and also N900 (Application Manager related daemons) in order to have a secure payment system, Nokia probably needs to release a minor firmware update before Sygic and others can have their products published.

@russo_br, a the moment the problem is unsolved and no info about how it's going to be done is released.
From my point of view, in-app system will be necessary, whatever Nokia does with Ovi Store, without secure platform, it will be always trivial to break.

@hopbeat,
Agree, all mobiles and other devices had their system cracked to enable unauthorized copies... iPhone has jailbreak and most Symbian apps have cracked versions.
I won't lie telling that I've never installed something like that, but with time I know realize that this can only hurt our own devices future, which we invested a lot of bucks to get it. I sincerely hope that Nokia makes Maemo the most uncrackable mobile for paid apps, since that would attract many developers. Until now the only succesful case I am aware is Sony PS3, which is still unbreakable....
