Why on earth do we need the same stuff on S40 phones. Why use a lot of manpower to do the same again for S40 when we already have Harmattan. Does not make any sense.
Don't you see the picture? They want to create bullet proof OS without any tweaking options. Cross-platfom Qt makes it even "easy" . Currently you cannot leverage Qt-apps within S40 ecosystem and it's BAD because symbian is being dropped => There is clear need for revamped low-mid category OS.

It's also much, much, bigger win for Qt ecosystem than Meego high-end smartphones ever..
