From this post in Nokia’s developer forums we learn that Nokia’s existing developer APIs for Ovi maps will also be supported in Windows Phone 7 Mango, which should help developers port their existing apps to Windows Phone 7 easily.<br/><br/>We already know Nokia is now very dependent on Microsoft executing well, but it seems the solutions of the two companies will also become incredibly intertwined, with Nokia’s Ovi Maps becoming a central part of the Windows Phone 7 offering for all OEMs, suggesting even if Microsoft did not actually take the step of marrying Nokia, they will certainly be living together very soon, with neither company able to step away cleanly from the partnership without significant disruption.<br/><br/><em>Thanks</em> <strong>Tony</strong> <em>for the tip.</em>
