By "next billion" I suspect he was referring to this:

Qt’s future for Nokia: Bringing apps to the next billion.

So, it may be Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, but when it is self-inflicted 
we must pay some serious attention to it.

Let's hope that Qt stays healthy.  Although it isn't exactly perfect, 
it's the closest there is to it.  It would be painful to be forced to 
replace it with some other toolkit.
