I think you should really give QT a try. Writing portable code becomes easier as you become more experienced with QT.
QT helps to write portable code, but it doesn't stop you from writing platform specific things.
In other words, making your application portable is entirely your responsibility, even if QT is doing quite a lot of the work.

Many people consider Maemo as a "dead" platform - all I can say to those folks is "too bad - you missed out on a terrific platform that will help you get to market faster on Meego"

Maemo 4 received a community update earlier this year. And plans are starting for a community update to Maemo 5.

If i make a app for Maemo 5 that depend of the desktop, status bar, control panel and other stuffs, not will be problem to port it later?
With Python+Qt you can mostly accomplish that. For example, try this code:

Code:
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import *
 
app=QApplication([])
win=QMainWindow()
w=QWebView(win)
win.setCentralWidget(w)
w.setUrl(QUrl("http://www.google.com/"))
win.show()
app.exec_()
It runs perfectly under maemo, Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7. I'm also very confident that it will work as-is in symbian but I can't test that.

Well, thanks to everybody for your answers, i'm not a programmer but i can understand all you told me, i have planned something and needed to know if i can count on Maemo.

Conclusion:
Yes, worth program to Maemo because this platform that will help you get to market faster on Meego, if you program with Qt will be easier to port to other platforms, but making your application portable depends on you.
