The use cases span beyond a dynamic UI. For example, some credit cards require things like Verified by Visa, or 3dsecure, which only work in a web ui. Additionally, if we ship QML via the network, which opens up some additional security concerns in the most sensitive areas of the OS, we have to maintain a different UI for each version, whereas HTML UIs are already different, so you can provide the same UI for all versions of the OS. -- Martin -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
