What a way to alienate your Qt developers. More resources to concentrate on 
Meego would have been a much smarter choice IMHO. What does WP7 bring that 
Meego doesn't apart from the fear of a MS embrace and extend move or patent 
bullying after a couple of years of development? Novell learnt the hard way. 
Not too surprising though. 

I wonder what the fallout will be for Qt. Will it be a port to WP7 or will 
Nokians be expected to switch to native win api for WP7?
