I’m not very familiar with the worlds of Maemo and MeeGo, so please
excuse my uninformed statements. What I meant: If the SE GUI on N900 is
based on GTK (or Hildon), it might be worth thinking about porting it to
Qt to get a native feeling on the N9(50).

Yes, why not. I’m not familiar with the Ovi terms, but if they allow for
OpenSource apps (in contrast to Apple’s AppStore), I wouldn’t mind
paying a small amount for the service of getting the GUI served
consumption-ready on my phone.
