Although this has some backing on the press release, it's still my personal speculation: Qt is reasonably portable, and Nokia has already demonstrated that Open C works on the S60 platform. I don't think they're directly interested of any specific platform; rather, they would distance themselves from strong reliance on Symbian platform. That could make the applications reasonably portable to future (even unknown!) platforms on the source code level by building up a relatively OS-agnostic development environment; in this case Open C, Qt and some other less Symbian-specific APIs would make it reasonably easy to build applications for both S60 and future platform, be it Linux if you want to say so. As the growth of device capabilities has made Open C (and probably Qt) practical on the phones, supporting Qt along with the current environment on future tablets could as well be not a such a far-fetched idea to think of. -kirma _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
