Thats where QT comes in.. Code portability.. between ARM S^3, ARM Maemo, ARM Meego and x86 Meego..

They'd have to be to remain competitive since everything else is going this direction. In fact, I'm willing to bet they will go one step further and come up with a QT JIT to standardise not just code - but binaries across the board as much as Android does the same way.

Even Microsoft is going this way with Windows 8 being announced for ARM. The market is moving in this direction for everything (even Apple has Rosetta Stone for universal binaries with x86/PPC for years now since they moved to x86).
