You know, I'm getting a little tired of people talking about the benefits of QT without showing in real life what it can do. If all of the "claims" were true, then every new QT App for the N8 should be available for the N900.

So where is it? Where is the flood of QT based apps written for other platforms but then automatically available for the N900?

I'm sorry but your sense of what is acceptable in terms of technology is outdated. Maybe 10 years ago, if I had a Palm III, I'd say, it is what it is, live with it. Technology today moves quickly and when we purchase a platform there is an expectation that there is a that the vendor give support for a reasonable amount of time. Within months of the the N900 release it was clear Nokia had plans to kill the Maemo platform which has been clearly demonstrated by the recent PR's 1.2 and 1.3 (lack of features).

This is certainly unacceptable. While I can understand to a certain extent Nokia's logic, their claims that QT will solve all problems has yet to materialize. Why will it? QT has been available at multiple versions and still we wait... soon QT will.. or we'll have QT this and QT that.

Well, I think that's all fine and dandy but until Nokia delivers something that is generic QT that we can start running. This isn't to say that there aren't QT apps written for the N900. Sure there are, but like I said, when we can pluck a QT app that were written for the N8 and plop it on the N900 then I'll decide, Nokia has given us a viable alternative for the near future. Until then I think the voices of dissent are warranted and reasonable.
