So, at this point, Nokia has invested time, money, and/or developers in the following platforms:

Mimeo (Linux, Gtk+ shell) Qtopia (Linux, Qt shell) Symbian (Symbian kernel and shell)

Tell me again how this looks like a reasonable strategy? If I'm a smartphone application developer, which platform(s) am I going to target? The three incompatible APIs supported by Nokia, or the three APIs which will get me onto every other major device on the planet: Windows Mobile, J2ME, and Mobile Cocoa?
