However, the published Maemo 6 Framework suggests that Maemo 6 will have a very different API for the UI, even if it does use general Qt conventions: http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework So I doubt that it's very helpful to write an application for Maemo using Qt now, other than just to learn about Qt. I wish they'd publish the API reference online. You can build it locally. I can't publish it because I'm afraid that the (no-modification, no-distribution) license doesn't allow it. These blog entries give some small idea of the new API: http://zchydem.enume.net/?p=128 http://zchydem.enume.net/?p=149 http://zchydem.enume.net/?p=243 > If you're primarily targeting N900 or lower, you should use GTK+ and > Hildon, that will be better integrated. -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
