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.

People go on and on complaining about "bloat" in their desktop machines, and I come away wondering how significant that problem really is on anything approaching modern machines. But this is a case which I would consider to be "true bloat". Take a light weight platform which includes an efficient collection of well considered shared libs, and intended for light weight mobile hardware with limited memory, and then add a bunch redundant core libs with duplicate functionality, thereby nullifying the advantages of using the efficient set of shared libs in the first place. It's inane, and excruciatingly ugly to anyone who cares about efficiency in mobile platforms, and understands the benefits that shared memory, well used, can bring.
