And more Plasma > can run on other platforms/device. on maemo side i'm planning to do a more serious attempt to make it nicely working again (now i got a real dual boot on the external minisd, will be a bit easier, even if working with that annoying and outdated sdk is a real pita) my original plan was to show a video of it at my talk at tokamak, but had to fallback to the thing running on the laptop that didn't make much sense... > > At the same time it match with what we need here in Qt Software, make Qt > faster and faster on devices. that probably would mean faster also on desktops and specially older pcs :) Realistically for now requirements of kde apps are a bit more than devices like n810, for both drawing speed (using X here is a bit of a pain even if makes porting way easier) and probably disk access memory footprint (kde session takes around 2 mins to start on the n810, oouch) but i'm confident that both we can do a bit better and that those devices will become less crappy :) > > 2009/2/20 Artur Souza(MoRpHeUz) <morph...@openbossa.org> > > > hi! > > > > On Friday 20 February 2009 00:53:28 Aaron J.
