of course is up to nokia to decide what to use and up to the individual 
developers to decide what to hack, what i was saying is more a thing of 
promotion.
showing it that's valuable is not just making it compile and start, but making 
it compelling, the koffice viewer is a really beautiful example of it.
i don't see it as something that "steals" development to KDE to the pure 
benefit of Nokia, is more dedicating attention to devices that aren't the 
desktop, something that i believe is a big target for the future.
being pretty on mobile devices wouldn't benefit only maemo, but every 
distribution that will target small stuff, so benefit KDE in the end
