You can be sure that Maps 2.0 will graduate. Simplifying a bit, there are two kinds of apps in Nokia Beta Labs:

1. "Mainstream" apps like Nokia Maps 2.0. In these cases, the productization route has been roadmapped, and the eventual graduation is almost inevitable.

2. "Experimental" apps like Nokia PC Phone. In these cases, it's more about learning what sticks at the market, what doesn't, and how to make the concepts rock. In some cases, the app is just a proof of concept, that is planned to be archived after the beta trials. In another cases, the exact graduation/archival route hasn't necessarily been decided - it's something to be determined during the beta trials.]]>Mar 11th 2008 4:03AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/03/10/nokia-sits-us-down-and-tells-us-where-beta-labs-apps-go-when-the/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/03/10/nokia-sits-us-down-and-tells-us-where-beta-labs-apps-go-when-the/Mar 11th 2008 11:52AM
