Hi,

I don't wants to restart the big thread from March after the bad news ...  But just wants to know if some good news (Thiago says that we don't know all about that ...) are coming for Qt :

What I see: 
	- the agreement Microsoft/Nokia is done.
	- Nokia announce the depart of 7 000 people today ... and Symbian go to accenture ...
	- Commercial Qt support go to Digia
	- Qt development is centered on Mobile  ... for a deadly platform : Qt components the official part is Meego and Symbian centric .... Qt3D is going to be Qml centric and C++ is to add function to qml3D ...
	- Always no meego device ...
	- The end of Symbian is planified...
	- Nokia says that the big concurrent is Android .... So I don't see any futur in the good Necessitas port ...
	- a good news : Intel seems to invest research in meego : but there is a lot communication from intel about Android ...

So In short :
	- Where is the future of Qt as a cross platform Desktop SDK and as mobile platform  for a coming to death Symbian.
	- Is Qt only helping the transition to WP7 in maintaining symbian ...
	- Do I need to invest for mobile in Android SDK and Iphone SDK ...  instead of investing in QML and Qt ( I hopes ...not .. because it's quite promising if there is a commercial market).
	- Is there a future for Qt for Android (Intel Perhaps ?) 

One more time ... thanks to the wonderfull works done by Qt developer since a lot of Years ... I just wants to ensure that all that work will no go to trash ...
