Had this above, but made sense to move it after posting

EDIT/ADD:
Maybe it doesn't make sense to some, but the idea of making several distributions of Linux is about as inefficient as it gets when it comes to app development and service enablement. Qt allows Nokia the ability to get away from the hardware except for developing the APIs which support specific features. After that, its up to developers to take Qt and run with it.

The future of computing for Nokia is MANY platforms, TWO app spaces (web and Qt), and several types of devices. Use services to tie these together and play by person/context relevance and you have what kind of company Nokia will be. MeeGo makes this more possible, and the hardware and community foundations of Maemo makes it long-term viable.

I don't get why its so hard to see, but then again, I've always done computing differently. Maybe I just get a different window seat to the action.

gerbick, thanks for your sensible and knowledgable posting; there needs to be more of that around here some days.

Looking at what I've quoted, is Maemo 5 the glue or is the Qt layer the glue? I under the impression that it is the latter.
