Some clarifications, application UX, libmeegotouch and qt quick components are free as are all parts in MeeGo N900 CE. The swipe stuff is done outside of application in custom version of Mcompositor. As all great ideas Swipe UI is simple, basically it uses swipe gesture to switch home screen compared hardware button as Apple uses or on screen softkey as most of Android devices or meeGo hadset uses. In N9 there is two main things that are not FOSS, this small piece of code that handles swipe gesture and Nokia graphics and icons. When N9 UX best on market, MeeGo N900 CE version has UX that is comparable with Android or iOS For application developers there is no difference. > So, why the heck doesn't stupid Samsung wanna use it, but go for HTML5 > (which might be the future, but not now imo)!? I think that it was more politics, Samsung did not want be depending components made by their competing handset Manufacturer, They had already this issue with Google/Motorola. Even there will be more HTML5 apps in future, there is nothing that prevents having them in MeeGo parallel with Qt apps. MeeGo has just many advantages, one is that it has mobile UX ready. We have big Qt developer community and more and more mobile Qt apps. Tizen need to start once again from zero. HTML5 apps wont't be replacing native apps least in near future or may be never.
