Ahh .. the old "bury a bit of bad news" (MeeGo) "with some good news" (1.2), the oldest trick in marketing

Speaking of marketing..

Riiight.. so what's going to stop every other developer taking the same attitude. I mean, if polishing software is too much work for Nokia with their huge workforce and $$$, how is Joe Bloggs going to manage it with his Qt app? All Im saying is, that from a n900 owners standpoint, it does make a difference if Nokia takes the lead in this.

Sure we have Qt, but the developer of the app still needs to target and compile it for Maemo5. Fast forward, how long will it be before the standard Qt app starts off as a capacitive screen targeted app?

We've seen MeeGo on TVs, netbooks, shopping kiosks and heard it mentioned even for things without a screen. The only difference is it was Intel showing those off
