Just be patient.
That is exactly why Qt shouldn't die.

We are all locked in this silly "ecosystem war" because manufacturers want their platform to become a de facto standard, like Windows in the PC. If you want the application(s) you have to buy my handset or buy my OS. Or buy both.

Qt has the potential to precisely disrupt that. Empowering developers to, at last, be free of all platform leashes and just doing what they do best: code. Empowering users so they could use any HW or SW platform and still get what they want.

And off course manufacturers would fight tooth and nail against it, because they would become "dumb boxes" for software, just like carriers are becoming just "dumb pipes" for data.

Against all odds, I'm hopeful for Qt. And I will buy the MeeGo handset, if only to throw it to the face of all the naysayers.
