I think if Nokia bought Sygic, it would be like simply buying out their competition. Not very smooth. In addition tos this, they would be undermining their own brand of Ovi Maps. And still in addition, the folks working on Ovi Maps might feel like ikts a slap in their faces as well. If Nokia saw that it had resources, it surely would make their Maps team do an accurate port with full functionality over to Maemo 5.

Also that point about allowing there to be quality apps for Maemo and us showing that we will pay for them is very healthy for the platform (and coming platforms) in general.

So if Google were to release a product with Google Maps, but the Google Maps on that device wasn't as functional as it is on the Nexus One, you'd say you've been a victim of false advertising?

What I'm trying to say here is Ovi Maps isn't explicitly defined as having certain features, and there isn't anything out there that says it has these features. It wasn't advertised as having turn by turn, poi's and whatever else you were expecting it to come with therefor you haven't been lied to or lead to believe anything. I'm not saying Nokia did this maliciously, I'm just saying you need to assume less. That way you won't buy a product and think you've been ripped off and then give Nokia bad press by complaining on the internet about their products.
