  • capability to be carrier-branded and controlled
  • share capabilities ... accross multiple platforms (surely not Linux, right?)
  • Allow developers to reuse desktop applications code.
  • Dropping Zune and back to ActiveSync.
  • Integration with MS version of DropBox, Skydrive
  • Skype integration
  • basic camera interface (API?)
  • tracking of data usage
  • attempt to give Wi-Fi connections precedence
  • planned use of a proxy server to feed pages to Internet Explorer 10 (BigBrother?)
  • BitLocker encryption

Still not Qt integration. Still no Python port. Yawn.
So... Harmattan supports multiple cores, has great Skype integration plus video calls, full NFC (swp inclusive) implementation?

I could go deeper, but let's put it this way. Harmattan is a version 1 rewrite/release that will probably not get any updated due to Nokia's CEO. WP7 is a version 1 rewrite/release that will get updates due to Microsoft's CEO - and Nokia. Too bad Harmattan will not get the chance it needs to mature.

The rest of your argument - Qt, et al - how many Qt devs are there out there versus Java, C/C++ and even Visual Studio developers?

Seriously.
