Because 3rd party applications are 'official' too. Is OpenOffice less official than Microsoft Word? As long as application is not beta and is released to general public it is as official as anything else.

I like this approach. The Official/3rd-party devide feels like application ghettos to me. No reason Nokia Maps can't be discussed next to Maemo Mapper, and the built-in browser next to Tear.

Nokia Maps would belong in an S60 forum. We'd be discussing Navicore Map here.

Indications seem to point to Nokia Maps being bundled with Fremantle anyway.

I was thinkin' "Official" meant any app that doesn't show that 3rd party software disclaimer when you install it or it was shipped with the device or was included in an OS upgrade.

This proposal got 1 thanks and 1 positive comment but no feedback from the guys discussing about what is official and where is Nokia Maps. Not enough to make a decision and not so little to drop the idea.

Please comment.

> Why?

Because when I see 'Offcial apps' I automatically think 'Official according to whom?'

Third party.. we need to know who are the other party then. I haven't heard this term for a long time, probably since I left microsoft OS.
I like the "Nokia apps" idea, if it is really needed to differentiate.

Subforums by categories sound fine to me (and a smaller header pic please

)
