you were the one who suggested the possibility of running maemo in a chroot envro

As long as we're comparing pears to tangerines, so does my dockstar that cost not much more than that over a year ago. The N810 however lives comfortably in my pocket and lets me deal with email, IM and ssh on the go so it wins by default ;-)
It's much more GNU/Linux-y than Android for sure, but it was never meant to be a generic Linux platform. For running web apps along with Qt (and whatever else) ones it would make more sense to port Enyo to another Linux distribution than trying to make Qt apps coexist under the webOS UI which is more or less (ok, I'm oversimplifying a bit) a glorified web page running in a full-screen browser window.

... I would disagree on the basis of webOS' official support for SDL and OpenGL applications. If that's OK, Qt has to be OK, too.

The main demotivating factor is that Qt has such a large fs footprint that you pretty much have to clone the system to SD first before being able to do anything serious with it. The vm footprint isn't insignificant either since it has to coexist with the entire Hildon stack. Presumably, as such things tend to do, more recent versions would have grown a bit.

The news doesn't entirely surprise me...
Do you forget who is the head of HP's WebOS?? Our very own Ari Jaaksi, former head of Maemo at Nokia...

^ So true, it totally crossed my mind.
And the reason why Android 4 (ICS) doesn't totally suck is because Google has hired some staff (graphic designers) from HP (formerly Palm sector).
NOKIA wtf are you doing?
