Free Software Faces a Test With Qt
An anonymous reader writes with an article in TechRadar. From the article: "Thanks to Nokia's jump to Windows Phone 7, from the frying pan into the fire, its Free Software darling, the Qt toolkit, has been left living on vague promises and shell-shocked, hollow enthusiasm. Nokia has pledged some continued investment, bonuses for developers who stick with the platform and even a phone or two that might use it. But the truth is that Qt is deprecated, the project has stalled, and its future is uncertain."
Sorry, I did not know that modern mobiles could be used to make phone calls. Five years ago maybe, but nowadays only hopelessly retarded people care about the quality of voice calls. Some would even consider dropping that capability if it made the device cheaper.
