It may, but I didn't come here for Qt alone. Hell, I came here (and support MeeGo) because it isn't Android.

I am not saying software isn't important, I am just saying it comes after.
That's what Nokia said, then Apple put an excellent UI on an ARM6 processor and stole the market.

Good software cannot make bad hardware look good.
No, but so long as you don't overplay the hardware you'll probably be fine. Hardware defines your limits. Software defines everything else.
