Hold it right there. This is what I was talking about. You view applications like products like you potentially did with Symbian and the iPhone. Well, for better or worse, things don't work that way in Fremantle (yet).

Right now, today, if you are developing for a Nokia OS, Symbian is a far more attractive market. If you are developing for a Linux based OS the answer would be Android.
Right now, today, you're best off learning Qt and thus uniting Maemo and Symbian codebases. And for all intents and purposes, Android is not Linux.
