I think KDE has a long way to go before I should jump into mobile market.

I think KDE has a long way to go before I should jump into mobile market. There are problems in both technological level and philosophical level. Technologically, developers need a great platform, sound APIs and good design guidelines along with specialized tool to make it happen. On a philosophical level, it would be a nightmare to use KDE on tablets. KDE is nowhere polished or simple for touch screen. Grossly put KDE is an orgy of settings. Open does not mean that you can put any crap on user's plate. And one ring to rule them all principle is that the most important factor is monetization. If developer's are not making money no development will happen.
