Where are those mobile Qt apps? How to move forward

Attila Csipa, a member of the current Maemo Community Council, concludes his series of blog posts looking at Qt by musing on the future, and what steps should be taken now to leverage Nokia's worldwide platform and get a critical mass of developers (and so applications, and so users, and so developers) on to their strategic platform: As seen from the infamous PR1.2 delay, a coupled-with-the-firmware release cycle is detrimental to the platform. If multiple devices are on the market, it would mean instant-fragmentation as developers would have to code for the Qt released with the last firmware. This is eating Android alive, too, as various handsets have different upgrade cycles. A separate distribution mechanism HAS to be employed. An interesting article and one which many may dismiss, and others - more worryingly - will think they're already following.
