	So wait, you're criticising (er, a couple weeks ago :O) a 
non-mature technology for not being mature.. like the one thats not even 
on board the platforms in question yet? :)

	I'm a big fan of QT (and with QML they're really on top of 
something).. but do note that while there have been rumblings in the QT 
world for iOS and Andoird .. there've been omens for years now.
 I keep expecting 'any time now' a big QT move (and it really sounds 6mo 
away this time), but its not there yet. QT is great in a lot of ways.. but 
its non-existant on mobiles, so maturity is not relevent :)

	Thankfully for the old Trolltech guys and QT users.. QT is pretty 
secure; its not going to just up and vanish, even after the chaos of the 
Trolls, Nokia etc.
