I think this move could be a disincentive to develop for Maemo/Meego using Qt.
They already cant be bothered as it is. When PreEnv was released we all realized how little effort a Maemo port would take and basically did the job for them ... there are still no official ports.

More power to the Maemo OS as a tool of all trades if we can get Dalvik VM running.
