The point was that it's so wastly outdated that pretty much any device made today that has a native compiler available is a better choice as far as Qt-fication goes, the only possible motivation being if you actually have an N8x0 gathering dust and too much time on your hand (and as post-Qt4.5 on Diablo never happened, apparently that's not motivating enough).

It's much more GNU/Linux-y than Android for sure, but it was never meant to be a generic Linux platform. For running web apps along with Qt (and whatever else) ones it would make more sense to port Enyo to another Linux distribution than trying to make Qt apps coexist under the webOS UI which is more or less (ok, I'm oversimplifying a bit) a glorified web page running in a full-screen browser window.
... I would disagree on the basis of webOS' official support for SDL and OpenGL applications. If that's OK, Qt has to be OK, too.
