You can interpret that story any way you want!
Thank you.
I don't quite understand how so many did immediately jump to the "they are going for other OS!" bandwagon.
It's corporate talk that in the end can really mean anything, or nothing.

I'm not saying Nokia going for Android or WP7 is impossible, but i find so many other things to be much more likely happen than drastic jump from MeeGo, not to even talk about Symbian in CMD.

Btw this was also part of earnings call transcript from the Q4 reports where the Elop line was also taken.
To streamline and accelerate our progress, we announced in early Q4 that we would unify our internal development efforts around Qt development platform. We fully transitioned to Qt development for out Ovi services and I am pleased to see that things are starting to move faster.

Whatever the announcement will be i can promise you that the years and the money spent for Qt is already way too much to scrap it all and again wait for years and huge amounts of cash spent again to scrap deals with chip manufacturers, make new deals, software done, acquiring new people and start to build new infrastructure for new OS where other manufacturers are already way ahead.
