Resending, as I managed to confuse my gmail account. Sorry for the spam, Ville.

What are the Qt on Android people supposed to do, sit out in the cold while you add MeeGo specific code to a cross platform application development framework? I don't really like that idea a lot. Nor does it fit too well with anything that isn't specifically for mobiles. However: I do agree there is a (cross platform) need for device capability description. I think QSystemInfo would be a pretty good home for things like this, seeing as it's already growing some similar functionality. I think that whatever grows, though, should probably look for specific things they desire instead of generic things like 'tablet', because if the past 5 years of technology have taught us anything, it is that the devices of two years from now will probably look nothing like the devices of yesterday. So this might lead to things like (completely off the top of my head): hasCapability(QSystemInfo::Touchscreen) hasCapability(QSystemInfo::Mouse) hasCapability(QSystemInfo::HardwareKeyboard) ... (note that resolution, another popular candidate for things like this is already available via QDesktopWidget, though I think in a Qt5 world, that should probably go to QSystemInfo too) _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
