And symbian system UX differs in some elements but also in MeeGo, Netbook, Tablet and handset differs some amount even tablet and handset use same components. Issue is just similar in iPhone and iPad apps. iPad optimized needs some changes in UX. In QML this just means that your application needs to load UML file tailored for certain platform UX to provide optimum UX. >For Maemo, it's up to the "community" to provide the support.

At the moment MeeGo application with Qt Quick Components is just re-compile for Maemo5 and MeeGo. As example, i developed my Ar-Drone app with our unreleased MeeGo handset and when i needed to make video, I just compiled it with Maemo5 SDK for N900. No modifications in code were needed. You can see more from: http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/kate-alholas-forum-nokia-blog/2010/12/23/ar-drone-with-meego There is also practical example how to do full featured Qt Quick/Components MeeGo app. It has still install dependency to MeeGoTouch for stylebridge and application style is MeeGo and some amount different to maemo5. When we have Components where MTF dependency is removed and styling is done with border images, about only task needed from community is make style matching Memo5 Kate _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
