I agree and heartily hope that this is the case. For me, Nokia maintained a moderate level of annoyance by their wishy-washy level of support of their devices. They had already pretty much deemed the N900 a dead platform within a few months of its release.
Now, with them dropping the entire works, I hope they crash and burn in the loudest and most painful way possible...And take MS with them. Honestly, I saw the writing on the wall when Elom was named CEO of Nokia. As for QT, I think that there are enough KDE devs into QT to their armpits that the community taking it over shouldn't be that much of an issue... --b On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 6:13 PM, Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. < b...@iguanasuicide.net> wrote: > On Tuesday 15 February 2011 17:08:18 Brad Alexander wrote: > > It's not so much Nokia taking it in a proprietary direction, the fears > are > > more based on the fact that Nokia, now headed by an ex-MS exec, has come > > out and said that they are going with Windows phone 7 series 7 phone > > series...
