Its whole design purpose was so that developers could write the program once and then release it across multiple platforms! Nokia probably want to try and get as many platforms as they can into Qt such as Android and WinMo at some point!

Clearly you don't understand what I am saying, color me unimpressed by your misinterpretation.

With QtMobility, the underlying code should also work with Symbian and Maemo. ;)
