I strongly disagree with the blog's author opinion.

Before basing your opinion on MeeGo on a biased article, read Arstechnica's article too: ( http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/11/meego-confer... )

P.S. "At one point, after a long explanation that failed to answer the question of why MeeGo didn't yet have a framework for developers to sell their apps, a developer from Norway shouted out: "We don't care about openness, we need to be able to make a living.""

What is Qt then? http://qt.nokia.com/products/platform/meego/ Come on...



Qt is a very nice cross platform gui framework - it's not an app store


Well an app store isn't a framework either :) The author's sentence then doesn't make sense. Either-ways, my point was MeeGo has a great platform for developing applications, Qt is great, and QtCreator is an excellent IDE.


I think in this context 'framework' means "a way is provided to" not in it's technical sense.

The developer was complaining that there was no system in place to sell apps to users - not that there was no gui toolkit to write them.


How can you sell apps for phones that don't exist yet? Ovi store and Intel AppUp will allow sales for MeeGo when the time comes.


The article used the word "sell," not develop.
