For such apps, each and every platform should usually be good enough. HTML5 apps should be very portable, as should Qt and Java. "Should" often hangs at someone having to do a manual porting/recompiling, though.

Traditional Linux ARM apps are harder to port, but they are powerful tools if someone manage to port them. That's what I've liked with Maemo. Not "apps" as in single screen single functionality ad screens. Few of those have given me much.

Things sounds much smartererer when they come from you than from me, but I agree completely with your full post.
