Nokia to acquire Trolltech

Are you saying that Nokia bought Trolltech so they could get into the 
desktop software business? Somehow that doesn't make sense to me.

Nokia does phones. They have tried to extend the phone, along with the 
rest of the market. Trolltech has some technology that fits that purpose 
and market.

How does KDE fit into that? http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3235 tells 
us that the price isn't high and Trolltech hasn't been enormously 
profitable this last while.

I have this strange need for business arrangements to make sense. If 
there isn't a symbiotic relationship between a business and a free 
software project that makes sense, I take that into consideration.

So for you, how does KDE make sense for Nokia, notwithstanding the 
soothing words?
