I’m not very familiar with the worlds of Maemo and MeeGo, so please excuse my uninformed statements. What I meant: If the SE GUI on N900 is based on GTK (or Hildon), it might be worth thinking about porting it to Qt to get a native feeling on the N9(50). > I wonder, though.

I’m not familiar with the Ovi terms, but if they allow for OpenSource apps (in contrast to Apple’s AppStore), I wouldn’t mind paying a small amount for the service of getting the GUI served consumption-ready on my phone. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
