[Qt-interest] Many have not aware about this letter, Its for all who relies on Nokia

[Philippe]

From a Nokia point of view, I can understand the WP7 choice for the
immediate future (though it's far from perfect, I think anybody can
agree with that).
Now, making the Nokia's future *only* dependent on WP7's success would
be a major risk for Nokia. Microsoft does not need WP7 to survive, Nokia
should not either.

So, from a long term strategy, I think/hope the Nokia guys are not that
stupid to definitly close the door of meego.

A lot of developer have invest a lot of time and money in Qt, In the last month Nokia was a big defender of Meego and Symbian (you can check all developer days qt pdf ...) : and now it seems that it's the reverse ...  Difficult to continue to develop with Qt (I am using Qt since 10 Years ... And I am a litlle bit lost)
