Nokia Sells Qt

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yeah-who-needs-it dept.

Google85 writes "Now that Nokia has shifted to a Windows Phone-centric smartphone strategy, it's only natural for the company to divest itself of responsibility with regard to the Qt framework. It has been announced Digia will acquire the Qt commercial licensing and services business from Nokia, including the transfer of some 3,500 desktop and embedded customers actively using Qt today."

    So I guess when Nokia stated on their official blog that Qt would remain to play an important role in Nokia they actually forgot to add "...for about three weeks".

    The fact just reinforces another conspiracy theory: Nokia is poised to fail and MS is going to buy it for the pennies.

    Why else Elop would invest into stock of the failing company?

    P.S. For every fact, one can always find even more twisted conspiracy theory. ;)
