Hello,

I am currently working on a project targeting tablets (ipad and/or android
TBD).  I am now trying to decide whether qooxdoo mobile or qooxdoo desktop
would make more sense for this project.

Some requirements:
- scale based on screen dimensions (width) so that it looks the same on the
same sized screens with different resolutions
- show a long list of svg table rows, with scrolling
- navigate between application parts using tabs
- rearrange on switch from portrait to landscape and vice versa

So, for example, in landscape mode the tabs go on the left, and in portrait
mode the tabs go on top.

I have made prototypes using qooxdoo desktop and qooxdoo mobile.  I found
the requirements easier to fulfill in qooxdoo desktop (except for the
scrolling where I needed to introduce iscroll for performance reasons). 
However, the biggest issue with qooxdoo desktop is that button presses do
not "feel good" on mobile devices.  For example, on an ipad, clicking on a
TabButton yields a short delay (about a half a second), then a black box
goes around the button, and finally navigation happens.  Compared to the
qooxdoo mobile controls, it feels very unresponsive.  My guess is that touch
events are not used and qooxdoo is relying on the browser creating click
events.

So, my questions:
1. Do qooxdoo developers intend for tablets to use qooxdoo mobile since it
is based on touch events?
2. Would it be possible to add touch events to qooxdoo desktop?  The extra
controls and layouts would be helpful on tablets!
3. Are there plans to introduce a qooxdoo mobile TabView?  I think this
would be very useful on tablets.

Thank you for your time and have a nice day!

-Mark
