Actually more than one:

device prevalence among user/developers, used to determine how many users have each device, and how many developers are willing to work on particular device.
possible future developments, depending on above situation.

Can you see any possibility at all even of community members working on any WP device in the future?.

I know what your answer would be and that will kind of leave a very interesting situation for some time on here because IF the N9 is indeed the last non WP device for some time then can you actually see development on what will be old and dated hardware ?.

strategic acquisition of QT by Nokia

QT is the only official stack (no other libs are even mentioned)
QT/QML (btw: I don't think it is so revolutionary, since there is mozilla framework for more than 10 years) was advertised as solution for everything, so majority developers will use it exclusively to develop N9 applications
All of the community apps will be open source

This creates an interesting situation when Nokia someday translates to WF7.

They will already have the applications, and no matter how much the developers may oppose, there is nothing that can prevent building of applications for WF7, provided that they were entirely written in QT.

OK but what devices will be the target?.

Let us have pole first

maybe there would also be needed a poll to decide whether development should be done in GTK or in Qt ;)

That is a personal preference, as far as I am concerned I would be happy to see both used. Competition is a good thing.

ysss, I would prefer to have your attention to more specific things than spelling. ;)

Let's wait until the poll ;)

Personally though, I'm wondering how we can get good data from the poll, since things are moving quite quickly and the people rather fickle. But any data is better than no data.
