Qt on S40
-
As I read here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79051
I could imagine not Series 40, taking where we started this topic, but either new line of Meego devices. It might be that N9 success has moved something in Nokia's mind. Also current four platforms is too much. WP7 plus Meego would be much better, also for developers. -
There are many sources saying that N9 is actually Maemo Harmattan rather than Meego. We can't know the truth. But since Intel and Nokia partnership is over, Meego is dead. There is a new Intel + Samsung partnership called Tizen which may be called a successor to Meego. It is likely that the Nokia
plan is Wp7 + Maemo + S40, which replaces the earlier Symbian /Maemo + S40 + S30 strategy or it could be just WP7 + Maemo. We can wait for more information from Nokia. -
Haha, makes sense :)

N9 is Maemo 6 is MeeGo Harmattan is MeeGo. MeeGo is just a set of specifications and APIs, which are implemented by MeeGo/Core and others, for example Maemo 6, which is then called MeeGo/Harmattan.

I too have read some rumors about meltemi, another project named after wind naming convention. But I doubt, how Nokia can predict or determine the number billion, even before the platform is released. There has to be something else. I think feature phones are losing market in India too, since Android phones can be bought at the same cost (Android 1.6 to 2.0). Meego was the only thing that was going to save Nokia! I thought.

I'am really surprised that Nokia have not yet announced any details regarding the ' Next Billion ' platform. The next billion remains a mystery. As a developer there are several questions coming to my mind. Will ' next billion ' replace S40 ? When will we see next billion based phones ? The future of J2me ? Nokia has solid information and roadmap regarding its WP plans. Either Nokia haven't taken a final decision yet on what should power next billion or is this something revolutionary ? Also I don't understand why the term next billion is used for this.

The only revolucionary thing that comes to my mind is Nokia fire Mr. Elop, switch back to Meego and launch a Meego tablet :)
That would no only be revoluvionary but handsome LOL

bq. In response to a question at the Dev Days welcome address, Nokia's Kenny Mathers said that the next billion platform was not S40.
