We're pretty much equally screwed/good (X86 and ARM) these days, comparable build times, similar issues, etc. There's always a bit of fun in porting.

I still maintain that people ought to see how "dangerous" (for competitors) it is when Nokia can practically merge together Nokia's MeeGo-based OS + MeeGo Core + a hardware adaptation, in very little time, to deploy on new types of devices, processors, form factors.

Example could be: Existing stack of Qt applications/Nokia differentation, make a MeeGo hardware adaptation for device, test, ship..

It makes R&D a lot easier having a portable platform.
