If this is as obvious as it seems (or I hope), Nokia finally has a truly winning strategy. All hail the new Linux-based S40 with Qt and Swipe.
To a certain degree that is somewhat considerable scenario -- if we are talking about Qt and, perhaps, some low-level system software. I really hope experience gathered through Harmattan development -- on all levels -- would be reused for future S40 devices regardless of what OS will be there. In many companies one of devastating syndromes is called NIH (not invented here) and is as applicable to whole companies as to smaller business units inside them.
