"It is official - the dream of a great mobile product in Nokia Ulm is over."

This guys title is "Qt Software, Head of Global Consultancy, Nokia", so I guess that's as confirmed as it can be.

quote from http://communities-dominate.blogs.co...63068ee374970d:

Quote:
Meltemi product creation was in Ulm and Oulu. SW development in Espoo (UX, Linux core), Tampere (UI FW + Qt) + all Qt sites (Trolltech heritage). Over 1000 people focused on that. Nokia security working hard to ensure code does not leak outside Nokia, they already closed development enviroments and wikis this morning before announcements. By now they most propably have wiped hard drives where Meltemi code was residing.
Does not look good..

Oh, you mean like the N950, 600 and the likes?

Well, most of the things they've killed without releasing we'll probably never hear about.

Honestly, "burning platform"? Looks more like scorched earth.

Edit: Even more reason(s) to focus on Nemo/Mer.

They probably couldn't get Meltemi working correctly on low-cost hardware it was intended for. At least not in time. Not very surprising considering so much talent has already left, and big changes within Nokia and required development speed.

I wonder what Qt will be doing now. If no new Nokia device will be using it, that makes Qt totally redundant for Nokia. Funding from Nokia will dry-up etc.
Will there even be an updated QtSDK? Will Nokia sell Qt, or will it be killed by firing all the workers?
At the Blackberry Playbook OS 2.0 presentation it was said that they would support Qt for the OS. Maybe RIM is buying it?
