Ah, commercial developers. That's an entirely different subject from community developers.

Community developers are the only thing really worth discussing in the community (especially from the standpoint of what's released with SDKs).

Commercial developers have an entirely separate support relationship with Nokia to community developers, and you can trust that a commercial developer will be well aware of what's going to be offered on the platform by the OEM if they're planning an application like this.

Really, truly, commercial developers are not our concern here. They have their own support channels with access to their own information.

But, really, point just one small third-party developer for whom the Maps/Navicore information would be relevant (which is the entire point of the discussion. . . .)

No, not really. Truly, we should welcome also potential commercial developers here, and be happy that they participate in maemo.org community!
