Perhaps you don't consider it to be important whether a device runs Meego-Harmattan or Windoze Phone, but I do. It's not about the name.
I appreciate that it doesn't matter to most consumers, who will vote with their wallets. We'll see soon enough whether Nokia have the right gamble. To date, not many consumers seem to want to spend money on Windoze Phone devices.
I've seen your really good work but I still don't understand why do you care so much about putting wp7 and harmattan against each other.
WP7 won't have qt. You are developing qt apps, right?

You guys just dont get it do you, throw FOSS in the bin because without the source code for the N9 NO DEVELOPMENT of any value can take place.
I have just pointed this out on the thread about raising funds for further development for the N900.
THIS community has failed drastically simply because it could not put together a working OS for the N900 because of lack of code for closed components.
The N9 is for sure a "here we go again" situation, and why? because people have fallen in love with this device and they are blinded from previous history of software development and its faIlure for the N900.
FOSS is a joke an absolute joke, never worked never will work.

FOSS has never worked in mobile. Samsung is next to take that wrong step with Bada. Some people might want to move to some Samsung forum. Oh wait...

It is not a crime to talk about WP you know !!!.

If your saying that it doesn't matter whether a device runs Symbian, S40 or Meego-Harmattan, then I can sympathise with that, although I have found targeting Symbian to be a massive pain in the arse when it comes to multimedia. I'm not convinced that Nokia will be able to make it painless to target Meego-Harmattan, Symbian and S40. With Nokia, it's always 'coming soon' or 'in the next SDK update'. Of course, when the update arrives, it's a beta, so you have to wait another six months for the stable release before you can use it to target the Ovi Store.
I know it takes time, and I appreciate that Qt on Symbian is still immature. But that's my point. I'm doubtful that it will get to a mature stage before Symbian is phased out. As for S40, who knows?
