Hi, (premise: i use Qt from 1997, was Qt Ambassador, then i'm also linked affectively to Qt). I think that the true problem is that the Qt is not fully ready for mobile (no google maps - for google reason -, no ibeacon support, no adversing, no pushing notify, Location, and othe minor things). In this situation i can use Qt on mobile because i know it, but i can't recomend Qt with professional license to start-up or individual. If Digia wants work only with the big company it's ok. The ROI is a number is not feeling, but a happy developer does marketing, if i'm happy i can say try it because in the future it will ok (1 month of free professional is good only for old Qt user).
