Nokia
will introduce Qt to the maemo platform in addition to GTK+. The first actual step will be the distribution of the Qt libraries for application development in maemo.org during 4Q2008. Nokia wants to explore cross-platform possibilities between S60 and maemo. It is interesting also to check the interest in the developer community for Qt in the tablets. This is also a way to attract more attention from the KDE community, a sensible move especially if the Trolltech acquisition gets completed.

Cross platform certainly does have its challenges, which is why I can see Hildon being dropped in all honesty. It's not as if it's a major platform anyway, and Nokia uses it nowhere else than on a few experimental tablets, and they don't sell many of those.
If Nokia uses Qt in the way that I expect them to, and the way that they have to really, then I'd expect to see Qt used as the cross platform environment across all of its devices, from tablets to mobile phones (S60s etc) to the desktop. It will be more than a month of Sundays before you can do that with Hildon and GTK. The technology just isn't there.
