They are all loosing money!!! In most company heads would be rolling due to this huge delay... be it Ovi or Maemo teams (or even both) fault!!

Customers just don't care what are the difficulties of getting the Ovi Store for Maemo ready for paid content, but Nokia should at least give some explanations why it is taking too long to solve a major problem like that... and compromise with a date to fix it!!
Just as a note, the Android store didn't have paid apps until about 5 months after the G1 was released.

Sure I agree it is easier not to set a date, but Nokia is a corporation and I bet there are Project Managers controlling the Maemo program and its sub-projects. All employees surely have a fixed date for delivering their job... Yes, just a minority compromise with fixed dates, but why couldn't Nokia do that? They are compromising on releasing a Meego device by the 2H2010, aren't they? I also remember they gave a date to release Ovi Maps for N97... Regarding N900 the only date I heard a estimated date was the launch date.

It still doesn't for many users. It depends on who made the phone with android, and where you live. I guess it's not an easy thing to do when google hasn't been able to do it yet..

Not the same thing though is it? Maemo/N900 was just EOL'd 2.5 months after it was released.

Enough with the FUD. There has been no statement of that nature - nor even anything remotely hinting that the N900 is EOL. We seriously do not need this kind of thing - the forums have enough FUD already.

Well I have just been browsing the Nokia site and re-read the press release for Qt4.6.2 gold release for Maemo5. One thing mentioned is that new APIs available alongside this version include navigation APIs.

I also saw that Qt4.6 was targeted at the PR1.2 release of Maemo5

Now this bit is conjecture, but if you have the PR1.2 release out, with Qt4.6 built-in and navigation APIs, then I think it is more likely Nokia will bring updated OviMaps to the N900.

This for me is only good news, and I am looking forward to the PR1.2 release. I am not expecting Maps3 to be included with it, but I am very much hoping that it will be ported soon.

Ahhh Excuse me, but ain't you been paying attention? There ain't no Maemo 6 now and no confirmation Meego is going on the N900.

You own stock in Sygic or somethin'?

Nobody's at the Cebit to ask Sygic what's up with the N900 navigation solution ?

EOL has a very specific definition, and as the N900 is still being manufactured, sold, and supported, it very definitely does not apply.

There was never any confirmation that Maemo 6 was coming to the N900, and there's been no confirmation that MeeGo won't be (just be thankful you didn't buy a Windows Mobile based phone).
