[Qt-interest] Qt on iPhone now ok?

Unlikely. The FTC has been investigating Apple specifically in re: to this 
policy and I suspect their probing has a lot to do with it. I would also 
speculate that Android which is rapidly gaining in popularity, was getting more 
developers because of their more permissible NDK. Qt 4.7 and MeeGo phones, where 
are you!?!

It looks like cross-platform mobile development is finally here: Adobe and 
Nokia.  Nokia needs to play up to the Android and iPhone developers, if it wants 
a successful app store, because that is the only way Symbian/MeeGo versions of 
the next round of killer apps will ever happen (because they are so late to the 
party). Nokia can steal developer momentum and take the developer market if it 
wants. Nokia has the easiest SDK (Hello QML!) with the best licensing terms, and 
least restrictive platform, so attracting developers will be easy. But no one 
will write apps *for* the MeeGo/Symbian market, rather they'd use it for 
iPhone/Android development and make the Symbian/MeeGo platform because it is 
just a re-compile. (I have to credit Nokia and the Ovi store process for making 
this superbly easy, and this a no-brainer.)

It will be interesting see how this plays out, and what Nokia does, if anything.

It is great!
So somebody has to believe now that Apple will not change the rules
again. At least in the next 6 months. (or e.g. in the next 2 years)
