This isn't going to happen. You're quite right about the heads and the places where the sun doesn't shine, but with Nokia dropping MeeGo as it's next big platform, MeeGo is dead. Nokia is going to get plenty of problems getting WinPhone7 to work and they do not need the MeeGo distraction.

MeeGo might now become a way to spot talent from hard-to-get-at places, but that's it.

Oh yes, Qt is dead too. Consider: Qt was the new platform unifying Symbian with its massive user base and MeeGo with its promising new capabilities. Nokia touted Qt to all mobile developers in the entiere world as the place to be next year so why not start developing right now and make big money.

Nokia has just screwed all those people by murdering Qt, instead of putting it on top of WinPhone 7. Qt's role is now to be Symbian's and MeeGo's API. But Symbian is dead and MeeGo is dead, so Qt is dead.

But wait, there is more. Nokia is now also subsidizing the development of a unifying and free PC platform, making it possible to target multiple markets with a single set of sources. Yes, that is very much Nokia's core business.

So, Nokia is going to drop Qt support very soon. With luck, they create a new TrollTech, but where is that company going to make it';s money from, now Qt is LGPL'led?

Nope, Qt is dead. A community might be created to try and revive the beast, but now it is dead.
