I understand if Qt+C++ developers are afraid of competition, but there is room and use cases for both in the same open platform.
competition? first of its just pointless have Dalvik.

Next QtQuick language is not C++ its javascript based. Qt also has Pyside/python so if you think it has todo with favourite language youre wrong.

Point is we dont need yet another sdk in form of Dalvik SDK when wee already have a SDK in form of Qt?

it will just fragment and hurt Meego platform.

and btw having Dalvik why dont have .NET(mono) also? and why not Adobe AIR?

no thanks atleast not in core meego. you forget that more sdk:s also take more ram@and flashmemory. We already has those problems in Mameo 5 in form of both Qt/Gtk+ where Qt probadly is slower cause it doesnt fit on NAND and instead is stored inEMMC. so how do you fix this issues with a fully DalvikSDK + QtSDK?

Right now I dont think meego handset will sucees et all.

Evderything seems still going dogslow and Elop also has scared away some devs both inside and outside Nokia...

But if meego "only succes if it has Dalvik" why dont just go with buy an Android handset instead?

My personal option right now is to go webos if it doesnt happen something good at the meego onference in may...
