Hmm, interesting...Moblin-v1 is quite old, right?

One consideration is that, afaik, Moblin runs on more hardware devices than Maemo, i.e. there are much more different netbooks than Nokia devices available.

Well, afaik, it's clear that Qt will be default toolkit and based on the comments on 'Maemo talk', Nokia even has problem to provide one-multiplatform-solution even with Qt, so I'm highly doubtful they will push GTK/Hildon in Maemo 6.

This could be from the community side in order to keep it alive for some time, but seeing how much support is given by Nokia to old OS, my belief is that GTK/Hildon's future is not bright.
