Gigaom has a very recent interview with Stephen Elop where he mentions the Swipe and Qt platform, says "watch this space" sort of. :) He seems really confident about that too.

N9/swipe/qt talk after 8 minute mark. Some tablet talk later too.

Every time he says Windows 8 he shows that he considers it as an superior mobile OS, better than meego. He considers meego an OS for poor customers, for underdevelopement countries.
He loves Microsoft, so it is impossible to see the truth

what is wrong with an OS you can install into really cheap mobile phones? if everything goes towards mobile internet with the next billion, those "poor customers" will outnumber superior mobile OS'es 10:1...

Can anyone transcribe the relevant bits so I don't have to watch/listen to this annoying man?

I'm afraid he will deliver it only in cheap hardware and try to keep good camera, good display and a lot of storage Windows Phone exclusive.

Kauppalehti has some speculation (in Finnish):

MeeGo won't stop at Nokia with N9. The aim is to bring an iPhone-like experience to 50€ phones. How to achieve that? With MeeGo

As I said some time earlier already... Maybe we shouldn't see the N9 as last MeeGo phone, but as first phone for the next billion ;-)
