Really? When Symbian (which offers a free SDK, too) has 40% of the global
smartphone market....? And when mainstream Linux-based systems are expected
to be taking an increasingly large piece of the pie....? The iPhone only
aspires to 1% of the market in 2008, a target which seems questionable, at
least...

 Dunno. Eric Chu of Google claimed at the Linux Foundation Collaboration
Summit in Austin a few weeks ago that the GNOME technologies were "too
desktop-oriented"--in spite of there being nothing "desktop-oriented" about
projects like GTK+, Gstreamer, BlueZ, etc.--and that "open source projects
didn't ship according to a schedule"--in spite of the fact that GNOME ships
every six months like clockwork.

Ask them, see if you get better answers.
