And if that is not the case (ie all apps need tweaks for different devices or architecture) then Meego will fail badly, along with Nokia (and at best they will be in the niche like Palm).
Qt simply doesn't work like that, it is not a VM-language nor interpreted one. A Qt app compiled for ARM will not work on x86 (Atom et al) and vice versa, it needs to be re-compiled.
