Let me give you some reasons for migrating to Qt 5:
- performance
- new features
- Qt 4 will not receive new features and will stop updating in the near
future
And please stop reading more into my lines than what I've said. There are more
people working on mobile and some features are likely to come first to it, or
exclusively to it (such as NFC reading, lots of location based services,
address book integration, etc.). That does not make it a mobile toolkit.
