True! Oracle cannot be trusted with sun's open-source products! They murdered Solaris.....*Those bastards! *I wonder what will happen to mysql*. *Most of their FLOSS should be forked just like LibreOffice and OpenIndiana did. Back to Mobile, IMHO Qt developers for Symbian are walking the plank....but not anytime soon Symbian, though being demoted to an old school OS, still has the *largest marketshare* in the mobile OS So you can safely develop for it now and suck all the life from this dying legend before its lights go out. To be on the more safer side, you can also invest in cross platform toolkits and IDEs like AIRPLAY - code once - compile for each platform. When symbian retires, you can just simply stop compiling for it....Peace of mind!
