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....
To do that, they'd have to eliminate root access, or cryptographically sign the kernel for device-specific factory deployments (like RIM). That would render the device useless for its current target market. I guarantee that 90% of its current users would abandon the platform if Nokia did that, and I'm pretty sure they know it.
I wouldn't worry that much about DRM support. If the phone starts to gain popularity, people like me will start writing proprietary apps and selling them.
There's an opportunity for a fresh start here.

Sygic is Listening
In the latest release update of the software, Sygic have taken onboard users comments and have now enabled the option to close or minimise the screen from the top menu bar. Whilst this might not seem like a great feature to write about, it is more than useful when you are in the middle of a journey and want to quickly check some emails or do a little web browsing but keep your current route active. So yes, this is a nice touch and it shows that the developers at Sygic are listening to feedback from testers.

To your question: I have great news! Sygic will sell individual packages of groups of countries, but also package of whole Europe and package of all US countries.
Maps with transit roads only: Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Belarus, Moldova, Montenegro, Bosnia - Herzegovina, Romania, Ukraine.

Officially it's supported Maemo 5 (and higher). Maemo 4.1 (Diablo) was not tested, yet. According to this fact I can’t tell you with 100% assurance that application will be working properly on your device.
Thanks!

In my last contact with Sygic yesterday I was told that the release is days away.

in other threads i did see quotes like "in March we (Nokia) hope to have paid support in OVI"
so if that is true, then i don't think Sygic will be there before that..

The problem is how easy it is to buy application vs. get the cracked one.
