I feel the same way. I've had my Nook Color rooted for well over a month now and I'm more frustrated by it's limitations than impressed. It's a step backwards from Maemo, Symbian^3 or jailbroken iOS for my personal needs.

I do think Qt on Android is important though because Android is not going away. More developers are targeting Android and iOS than Symbian^3 and Maemo/MeeGo currently. That fact won't change soon either. A developer would be smart to use Qt since it would allow his/her apps to target a wider rage of operation systems without rewriting the entire codebase. Qt's success will ensure MeeGo's success.
