Where did you get that information from?

Is there any official word from Nokia about this?

Qt will continue to be the development framework for Symbian and Nokia will use Symbian for further devices; continuing to develop strategic applications in Qt for Symbian platform and encouraging application developers to do the same. With 200 million users worldwide and Nokia planning to sell around 150 million more Symbian devices, Symbian still offers unparalleled geographical scale for developers.

Extending the scope of Qt further will be our first MeeGo-related open source device, which is planned to ship later this year. Though plans for MeeGo have been adapted in light of our planned partnership with Microsoft, that device will be compatible with applications developed within the Qt framework and so give Qt developers a further device to target.

Here's an official statement from Nokia:

Sounds like there's nothing to fear (at least for now).

Now that Microsoft stops QT development through Nokia partnership ,

what happens with Eagle v6?

The only thing I've ever heard referred to as "QT" is QuickTime.  That

that's from Apple and should be irrelevant to Eagle anyway.

I'm sorry, I may have turned a feather into 5 hens here..

I was listening to some colleagues discussing this and it seems like they

were chatting about Widows Phone development.

I asked for details, and this is the article they discussed:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-notifies-developers-that-qt-is-out-for-windows-phone-devel/

Sorry for shaking the bottle. Hopefully they won't touch QT for a while..

Still, it raises some thoughts now when it's somewhat in Microsofts

hands....
