Nokia has clearly announced that Qt plays key role in next billion project and Nokia continues active Qt development. Nokia has two separate units, "Smart devices" that makes N9 and what is moving to MS stuff and then "Mobile phones" that currently makes S40 phones and will do this "next billion" project. Next billion project will make Qt handsets as mass products to mass markets. Just some numbers, devices called as smart phones were sold 300M in 2010 but all handset market were 1.3 Billion. This 1 billion is not market that Nokia can just ignore. Qt itself is FOSS, Nokia can't kill it and it does not have reason to do it. From application developers point of view, Qt will be there event what ever happens and what ever will be platform running it called, Maemo, MeeGo, Symbian, Android, "Next billion" or Tizen.
