Thanks for posting qgil.

Stephen Elop said explicitly that these activities are out of the scope of the Microsoft deal and I'm still waiting to hear more about them. Also, the technophile in me can't avoid thinking of the possibilities and feasibility of putting Qt to work together with Windows Phone, regardless of the business and marketing sense such feature would have yesterday and in the times to come.

But it does not look good for Qt and Windows Phone, see the response (in comments) on Qt Blog article
"Nokia new strategic direction. What is the future for Qt?":

http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/12/...future-for-qt/

" Qt will not be ported to Windows Phone 7. One of the key benefits of joining an established ecosystem is that there is an established toolchain that everyone uses. All Windows Phone apps will run on all WP7 devices. Adding Qt to the mix would only cause fragmentation.

Unfortunate from a Qt perspective but wise from a developer ecosystem perspective."


Anyway, good luck for Meego & Nokia
