This question is superflous for several reasons:
1) Thiago (and other nokia-paid qt-devs) have stated that for a number of 
times. Only some of us (me kind of included) don't yet believe it due to a 
number of past actions speaking a different language. Only thing nokia can do 
here is to let actions speak.
2) Thiago and other nokia-paid qt-devs have a valid interest to be less 
critical of their own managements statements regarding qt's future because it 
affects their personal future too. And nobody likes changes.
3) If there where massive internal facts of dropping official support for qt 
(only desktop or generally), nokia would do wise not to tell us. You can't 
sell something which you tell the prospective buyers/users will be obsolete 
within a known short time.

Have fun,

Arnold
