On the Maemo Map screenshot I see a weather Icon too alongside the POI and Routing icons.
Never seen a weather info integrated into any GPS application.
Does this mean this will fetch weather information for where we are on dictated by the GPS coordinates ? That's purty cool !
Nokia Maps (Ovi Maps?) 3.0 - that is to say the present version for the symbian os - already has weather info for your destination . It is a great application, believe me. I use it often and maps are updated, and it works quite easily.

it is kind of slow... what do you think?
Also, the web app does not work on any other OS and browser combination then Windows/IE... how about Maemo/MicroB?
What are those 4 bars on the right lower corner ...
Not sure, but if you can see it, the area surrounding that bit is stamped over the top of the UI in a sense, making that element larger than it initailly appears, fwiw. Granted, it's still pre-release and may have nothing to do with anything/may be cleaned up in final. Or could there have been more to show (perhaps some text labels) and it was 'shopped and edited before he published his blog?
For being more fingertouch-centric, if it is an eq or vu meter or similar, it would seem it is either a minimized app/gadget that when touched will bring up the full app or it's simply meant to overlay and be viewed as is. (captain obvious award?)
No they haven't, not until they provide a usable dpad.
Well I don't know about little technical details like that
But here's a quote from nintendo:

"But Nintendo expects its profit to fall for the first time in four years in the current year to March 2010 as the Wii's momentum slows and the company faces increased competition in the handheld business from Apple Inc's iPhone."

I can't even open it on firefox/linux. But the one running on symbian works a treat. I hope that the maemo version will do like that.

ovi maps on web does not work in firefox / windows or chrome. Yes the one in Symbian is nice, and it is native, so very fast. Finally seems that Nokia has scored again. Maybe N900 will be another score.
What about ovi store for Maemo? When will it be available?
Well, if they say so, but I kinda remember Nintendo products being children's toys. $400 iPhone with its 2-year ATT does not seem to fit that demographic very well...
