Qt + Windows Phone 7

Exactly. I tink that this "point" had been written in all colours and fonts here and not only. Is possible that someone think that with and intense thought that this can be ... then it became real ? :)

Well. Qt's been ported to Android and iOS (to some extent at least) among others, so I don't see why there couldn't be a community port to Windows Phone as well. Fingers crossed.

If you get a C++ compiler and the C++SDK for WP7, it would be possible. AFAIK, MS does not give that out....

There are rumors that the next release of "Windows Phone called Tango will bring C++ support.":http://www.phonearena.com/news/Windows-Phone-Tango-will-speak-120-languages-might-bring-native-C-support_id26391

Having in mind also several recent blog posts from Digia about Qt Commercial on Windows 8 tablets I hope that Qt will be running on Windows Phone in (near) future :)

Apparently (I haven't looked into this much yet), it is possible to build (homebrew) C++ libraries for WP7 already:

Well, but you can't publish them using the app store, can you?

There is already a "thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/13919/ discussing native code support on Windows Phone 7; it may qualify for a merger.

Yes, I have the first hand info that C++ support is coming in the upcoming WP7 update. Apart from external factors if Qt is ported to WP7 then there will be more apps to its WP7. It is a value addition.

I haven't seen anything official yet. May be Nokia and Microsoft will announce it during Nokia developer day at MWC.

That is so bad ! How will the Qt community survive in the future ? What is the Nokia's strategy for Qt in the future ?

The question is: what is Nokias strategy for Nokia in the future?

Qt is what "we":http://qt-project.org/ make of it.

Hi, as mentioned really often till now, Qt is not only mobile. Qt comes from the desktop world, was extended to embedded devices and at the end to mobiles. And Qt is open source. It will survive.
