Qt does make running a program on a different device a whole lot easier (I mean, I had the time of my life bringing some GTK applications from Diablo to Fremantle; having to use the hildon_gtk_* functions just so that I could get properly styled buttons etc. for one) but:
a. You're fooling yourself if all Qt apps are going to be linked to libraries that have equivalents under Fremantle;
b. If (commercial) Meego's UI is going to be designed for cap. screens, what's to stop people making their own apps for Meego from doing the same?
c. Qt is not magic. Whilst it does a much better job than GTK+ ever did (and I prefer GTK programming a hell of a lot more to Qt programming) in terms of cross-platform compat., it is not magic. Changes will still have to be made. And, let's face it, with this announcement, who the **** is going to buy the N900 now compared to the shiny, new Meego device they could get?
