A rat abandoning a sinking ship perhaps?

its most probably to do with control now MeeGo is going to go to a mass market audience he no longer as the control he once had with Maemo as it was just a little hobbyist platform.
now there is so so many more people and rules to work with.

Nokia should just license all the license-able OS (android, wp7, webos?) and put Qt frameworks on top of them, making Ovi the sole mobile app platform that works on all the major mobile OS.
And WP7, well, MS is playing Dictator with that and I seriously doubt they'd allow distribution of a WP7 phone with Qt. Never mind that you'd miss the market for anyone who bought and enjoyed using an N900.

To developers: If Android is an official target in Nokia's Qt SDK (or whatever it's called) then developers can target Symbian, MeeGo and Android at the same time.
To customers: Nokia can guarantee that their customers' favorite apps are published on 3 major platforms (symbian, meego and android). So the customers will not need to worry so much about OS selection, as long as they stick with Ovi/Nokia.
All this will increase long term value to Nokia's platforms, serves as bargaining chip against Android. They will, in essence tap into Android's current hype to inject growth to their own (Symbian+MeeGo+hardware).

I would have been happy to see a Meego device out and then the management changes happening.
changes happenning even before a launch (even though I understand that by now the project must be in a tight schedule and frozen timelines) This somehow does not bode well for a project. Firstly it means there are some uncertainties and push-and-pulls around the final decisions of the project. Just seems like bad timing.
Anyway hope Meego will do well with all the others like Peter and Quim Whom we know and the rest o f the old and the new team carrying on with the flag.
