Well, the project has simply transitioned to open governance, which means anyone can contribute and move up the value chain based on meritocracy. So, for example, KDE folks can now directly contribute to Qt and also directly affect its future direction.

Nokia continues to use Qt for Symbian/Meego as well as their future low-end platform, which currently only offers J2ME. They have officially announced that Qt will be used for "the next billion" which has been referred to as Meltemi software in leaks.
