Here in Europe, Nokia is still #1 in dumbphones area, and what I see is that there is still a large number of people who doesn't need/want smartphone. So Nokia will probably stay strong in this still-big area. (But they undoubtedly will have a problem in the smartphone segment.)
- gregschlom 16y agoIf the ports are really good and functional, it will be good for developpers because they'll choose to write their app with Qt Quick and have them run on Android, iPhone, and Nokia smartphones. That's why the article claim they will "win the developpers battle". It doesn't mean that it will be good for their smartphones directly (like, it will not boost Nokia smartphones sales).
