Yes, I think I should start by developing on Qt for Maemo 5 and onwards, I am also curious about distribution of applications, like Android has "Android Market" maemo has "Maemo Select" but I saw one can not push paid apps into Maemo Select. Any news nokia is going for an app store for Maemo ?
I must say that: This community is far more superior and have faster responses than Android community wow, amazing. I am keenly interested in learning Maemo 5+, I have already setup the environment, I am sure and will hope best that , if I will stuck at some place this community will help alot!!!!!!!!!!!!
