Another important clarification for those of us who understand all this stuff (I don't
):
Tero, as you can tell it’s really not that easy to articulate so hopefully we can just show you the benefits soon. We were already using the QT framework in Symbian^3, along with AVKON and others but for the UI improvements in Symbian^4 we were moving to Orbit – we are now discontinuing the Orbit development and continuing just with Qt and Qt Quick – that’s how we get the continuity. By using the Qt framework we can introduce the UI, app and service improvements into the existing platform without making a break to a new platform release.
