Then Elop was elected CEO of Macromedia. And some months later, the company was sold to Adobe.

This Elop guy has an interesting specialty.

Qt was one of my favourite desktop development toolkits. After Nokia's involvement, the innovation curve has started to stagnate. Its not too late to save the Qt franchise.

Didn't QML arrive to Qt during the Nokia times?

I wonder if any of the (previous) Symbian Foundation members will fork the Symbian OS for their own use. Will anyone use Symbian after Nokia finishes their transition to WP7?

Symbian was a wretched developer platform, but it will be a little sad to watch the lights go out..

And the new QtScript, and a bunch of awesome vector drawing stuff behind the scenes (IIRC -- not sure when that was exactly).
