Well, contributions to Qt have been ~80 % from Nokia. (Source, http://www.macieira.org/blog/qt-stats/ ) <http://www.macieira.org/blog/qt-stats/> I wonder if they could lobby Nokia/Microsoft to make Qt full citizen on Nokia's Windows 8 phones and tablets? That would at least differentiate Nokia offering a bit from rest of the winphones, and give a raison d'etre for continued Qt support. And the know-how is already in-house. That would also give some continuity for existing Qt mobile developers.
