    Sygic representatives, a very important question:

    Is Sygic navigation SW based on Qt framework??

    With the announcement about Meego I can't avoid to think that it wouldn't be worthy to buy a GPS app which would not run on Meego. Even if Nokia decides not to support an upgrade for N900 probably the community will build a Meego port, that's why I am asking...

    Its not that MeeGo only will support QT apps.. GTK apps will run just fine.

    It doesn't need to be. Meego supports GTK and Qt. Same as Maemo 5.

    Well you couldn't forbid them, but Nokia could make it harder for the developers to get paid since they wouldn't be going through the secured Ovi Store market.

    But then again Ovi Store was found not to be that secure to begin with (you could download anything in the Ovi repo with an apt-get command) so that is likely holding back the apps we're waiting on (Sygic, those games we've seen in the Youtube video, etc..).

    If the platform is open source, why does any developer need to get through Ovi store? Nokia aint doing a good job with customer satisfaction in countless ways. Can't developers just bypass Nokia all together?

    yeah, it sounds stupid for Sygic to lose so many customers who are eagerly waiting for the software while waiting for Nokia's nod. Probably they are just waiting to get the brownie points from Nokia but at what cost!?
