So wait wait, let me get this straight, your complaining about QT which will make cross platform development, like porting symbian apps to meego and meego to symbian and to other platforms easier and less work, so we end up with a load of apps rather then a few... ???
It will make it look nicer rather then outdated when compared with other apps from other mobile platforms and they do compare them.
LOL NICE Trolls :
>QT which will make cross platform development, like porting
Qt isn't the only one
>symbian apps to meego and meego to symbian
Require modifications not multiplateform
>and to other platforms easier and less work,
Hum ... same as other frameworks.
> so we end up with a load of apps rather then a few... ???
TROLLS ... as now if gtk isn't really support in meego ... we will lost a load of apps
My general feeling about Meego & QT is that Nokia is abandoning 5+ years of developing the Maemo OS, associated libraries, build tools, etc. and community infrastructure in favor of an ill-defined partnership with Intel & the potential for easier porting of apps between Meego & Symbian devices. They are imo starting over from scratch & alienating existing users and developers at a time when Maemo is starting to mature into one of the most robust operating systems for phones.

From scratch? Trolltech *is* Nokia , I can just guess what may produce integrating the two experiences.

I feel very similar, imo they really had some momentum building with Maemo and, instead of picking the ball up and running with it, they threw it away. I hope Meego is installed on a lot of TVs, vending machines, and car radios because I can't see it gaining much marketshare in smartphones or netbooks, I will be more than happy to be served a slice of crow if I'm completely wrong, I suppose time will tell.
