And you don't see the problem with that statement? The goal of Qt is easy cross-platform development. The reason for Qt on Symbian, Maemo and WinMo is to be able to easily develop across these (different, but similar) mobile platforms.

The difference between KApplication and QApplication is that QApplication runs on any Qt-supported platform, while KApplication requires KDE (libraries). If I wanted to restrict myself to developing just for Maemo (6), why would I need Qt anyway? Just because it is a nice library?

The cost savings that Qt offers for developing across these mobile platforms are purposefully thrown overboard here. I have yet to see an example of something that needs to be done on Maemo 6 that can't be done by QApplication etc. directly.

If I develop for iPhone, I'm developing one application. It runs on all iPhones and all iPod touchs. Same with Android. Obviously I need to take care of different screen sizes and so on, but that is doable. What I would like to know is how a sample Maemo 6 application source looks like in Nokia's view. How do I get to compile/run it on Maemo and Symbian. Obviously I want to be the best citizen I can be on each platform. So do I have to #ifdef my way around which classes I inherit from / use? What kind of a mess is that? Or am I expected to develop a library with the core functionality and then write 3 UIs on top of that, one for each mobile platform? I just don't get it.
