Agreed ... it would be silly for them to switch everything over to QT
now that they finally have things becoming more harmonious with GTK.

However, while things are getting a bit crowded squeezing the base
libraries into the tablet, there is probably room for another with the
qt embedded libs sitting along side the gtk (and python) ones. That
will have the benefit of bringing in a bunch of interested QT devs
while retaining the GTK and Python ones ... and hopefully still have
enough space for apps :]

On that last point, I can see a future tablet OS enabling you to
install on the Internal card out of the box to enable this additional
lib space requirement to not be a big deal. On the N810, this is safe
since you can't yank out the internal memory; on the N800 ... a bit
less so ... but possible.
