Will Nokia's first WP7 phone run Qt apps?

As a commercial license holder with 7 years experience that would make my day. However, we should approach this a bit differently. The question should not be will Nokia's first wp7 phone run qt apps. It should be will we be able to develop wp7 apps using Qt technologies. I am specifically speaking of QML. Qt has been using web style technologies for a while. I use CSS to style my c++ apps for example. QML is basically what amounts to javascript and a json like syntax sitting on top of a c++ runtime. With that in mind, it should not be that difficult for them to allow QtCreator to target, Symbian, MeeGo, traditional apps with QDeclaritiveView, a new Windows 8 runtime and a new WP7 runtime.<p>It would be huge if Nokia was able to leverage the existing Qt developer base for there new wp7 phones. Personally, I am way more excited about the N9 running MeeGo than any of the future wp7 devices. However that could change based on the developer tools available. A Dev stack that runs on linux, osx and windows that I already know and use (QtCreator, QMake etc) would be huge.

So, then you could develop for WP7 and Win8 using HTML+CSS or... Qt?

Nokia's CTO categorically said no in a video interview a couple months back.
