Heh, seems that I need to spend more time drawing prettier diagrams - so that they wouldn't look so ugly when shared on high-profile sites like this one :)
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.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
