Nokia to acquire Trolltech

[Walter]

I'm still undecided if I should invest so much money and time in learning Qt after his move....
Is there anything noticeable about the future plans of Nokia (despite the FAQ on the Trolltech site)?

From what I know and understand Nokia doesn't want to influence the direction of Qt development in any way. Everybody in Trolltech that says anything about the aquirement is very positive about it. Remember that's it's not that we'll be having "Qt by Nokia" instead of "Qt by Trolltech" notice in our applications, nothing will change in that regard.

This aquisition must not affect any products and customers. As Trolltech is rather profitable enterprice with such clients as Adobe, NASA, Motorola and Google I think NOKIA would not like to lose such tasty piece of cake.

I totally agree that these are nice and valuable clients, but from what I've read and heard, Trolltech hasn't actually been profitable for the recent years.

They had a dry spell for a while (mostly due to fumbling the qt4 vs qt4 and qt vs qtopia issue), but they have been picking up steam recently.
