| Qt will become the API across Nokia devices, which means developers might
| actually start writing applications for them. Qt is much easier for quick and
| dirty applications, and proven for heavyweights such as Google Earth, Opera
| and Skype, where high performance is a necessity.

Nokiaâs Free Software bullshit and insults in Maemo
,----[ Quote ]
| Thereâs a wiki page in Maemo explaining why there are some proprietary
| software. That page needs to be passed by the bullshit filter, like I said in
| my comment, Nokia is far from being friendly to Free Software. Theyâre
| actually quite aggressive and strongly lobby for the legalization of software
| patents in Europe. Donât be fooled by the sugar coating, they are not your
| friend. So what is in the wiki page after you pass the bullshit filter?
|
| Â Â * Brand We think that âopen sourceâ reduces our brand value
| Â Â * Differentiation Proprietary software is much better, just use it
| Â Â * Legacy We donât want to be shamed by the garbage we forcefeed upon you
| Â Â * IPR & licensing issues Software Patents are good, just buy the freaking
| Â Â licenses from us.
| Â Â * Security Since we sell dangerous products, we take your freedom away so
| Â Â you donât make the mistake of getting proof theyâre crap (like their
| Â Â batteries, which the phones must know the limits of)
| Â Â * Third party Just accept that we know best and choose from the best
