The US provides no leadership in smartphones? So who is, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea?
He talks about Japan leading the US, yet in Japan Google / iOS dominate 95% of the smartphone marketshare (57% and 38% respectively). I like that he conveniently throws mixes smartphone and cellphone data using which ever is most convenient to him and ignores facts inconvenient to his argument.

the simple fact you ignore is that although qt had been around for long, nokia only bought the technology in 2008. that's when they started exploring it for their cross-platform-stategy.
(I wouldn't see much benefit there, though: Why a cross platform tool when there's only one target platform left?)
Qt would also make sense if you have only one platform.

Qt would also make sense if you have only one platform. It is so easy to get results fast, that even I with no programming experience can write something in a few hours that really looks good and runs fast.

I was under the impression that Qt was too heavy for S40 and wouldn't perform well on those low end devices. Don't know, though, so no need to speculate.

In reality, the strategy really started to become successful in 2010. The "app store" you ask for (and that shouldn't be there... app stores are evil) offers qt-applications for both symbian and maemo at the moment.
Nokia even evaluates possibilities to bring qt to S40 devices. (I wouldn't see much benefit there, though: Why a cross platform tool when there's only one target platform left?)

Haha. Just being honest.
If QT has been successful since 2010, there must be millions of these QT apps being downloaded monthly if not weekly or maybe even daily. I'm sorry but I must have missed it. Would love to see it.

We're talking pure execution not potential.
