Personally I would like to see an army of Qt developers (and I am not talking about just the Trolls here, but especially also about the community) starting to port Qt on all possible mobile devices and continue with great support for Qt desktop systems! Because in the end it is us developers, not shareholders, that decide upon the success or fail of any technology!

Either a technology is accepted in the community and engineering skills are available on the market with that technology - or there won't be simply anyone doing "these fine apps which genereate market share/revenue/fill in your preferred marketing buzzword here".

And then when Qt apps hit the app stores for MeeGo, Symbian, and yes, iPhone and Android, let's see how long it takes until there will be a "Qt SDK for Win Mobile 7" - if there ever will be a need for such an SDK, if you know what I mean ;)

Because Qt is just too valuable (and I am talking from a technical point of view here!) to let it go!


And Lorn and others, I am delighted to hear and very optimistic that there are people like you "inside" who don't put their heads down - in contrary, who say "Jetzt erst recht!" (sorry, I don't have the proper English translation handy right now, but I am sure you will understand!)


Thanks for your great work you and others did and still do! I have been using Qt since 2.x and I still think - or even today more than ever - Qt is *the* best cross-platform toolkit!
