I think the way to figure out which way Nokia is going to go can be seen on how they treat Qt. If they choose to keep it, Meego is going to be the future. If they choose to let it wither and die (or sell it off), Meego will become just a curiosity. Qt is the key for Meego developer adoption, and the only way it could become a feasible smartphone platform. In my opinion there's no point to develop Meego just for the tablet market; it would be really hard when you couldn't leverage the same development effort as on the phone side.
- blub 16y agoDon't know what to make of it. On one hand they're transitioning just the commercial license, which makes some sense. On the other hand, my spidey sense is tingling a bit.
- abrahamsen 16y agoIt does sound a little bit like the sale of UNIX rights by Novell to SCO, which may account for the tingling feeling.
- bartl 16y agoYes, in my personal opinion, this is exactly what's going on: the next step in Nokia's new love affair with Windows Phone, and Qt the rejected mistress.
- jdub 16y agoMeego (at least with regards to Nokia) transitioned into curiosity territory on the day of the announcement... if not from the morning press release, then definitely by the time we saw the CEO Q&A. What Nokia does with Qt merely indicates the method and alacrity by which it will die in their hands, not Nokia's seriousness about it as a future platform (they're just stuck with it for a while on Symbian).
