BANG ON!!
And thats why I prefer to stay away from Android as much as possible.

(off-topic?) Google has been recently testing with picture ads in their gmail service. Fast forward to the future, the same will happen to android running phones (or personal ad boxes?).

Android is ok, but I am very much not impressed, and I would not have it on my next phone. I am not ready to give up my N900 without a better replacement.

I feel the same way. I've had my Nook Color rooted for well over a month now and I'm more frustrated by it's limitations than impressed. It's a step backwards from Maemo, Symbian^3 or jailbroken iOS for my personal needs.

I do think Qt on Android is important though because Android is not going away. More developers are targeting Android and iOS than Symbian^3 and Maemo/MeeGo currently. That fact won't change soon either. A developer would be smart to use Qt since it would allow his/her apps to target a wider rage of operation systems without rewriting the entire codebase. Qt's success will ensure MeeGo's success.

It would be great if you could get Marko Ahtisaari's Le Web speech in here somewhere, and his comment 'bout MeeGo betting on differences between the competition. You can't bet on differences if you change to the same system everyone else uses.

there will be no move away from MeeGo/QT - what i fear is that Nokia will do something extremely stupid and move to Intel's Atom x86 platform.

this could give us Wine and windows stuff on or handsets. for me it would be great.

I am sure Elop and Company have a plan for just that, but first Nokia phones have to be made available to the public with the same subsidies as other brands. The only way to do that is for Nokia to go to bed with someone, an operator or two and maybe HP/MS/Google who knows.
