Basically we have a clamshell with a full QWERTY on 32MB RAM and 366MHz with a 3" non-touch screen. For controlling the mouse cursor we'd have a 4-way key and for scrolling additional pageUp and pageDown buttons. > > Regarding resource requirements I cannot tell exactly yet.

I haven't seen qt in action live yet, only from this video[2].
