As for 1.0 Alpha 1, Qt Quick Controls for Tizen is physically the same
*implementation*, and thus also API. It uses Qt Quick Controls Styles.
This approach in case of Tizen was analyzed a bit at [1].

It was all possible also because Qt comes to Tizen very late so unlike
for Ubuntu Mobile, Sailfish or BB10 there were no prior investments.
So it's easier start fresh.
Kudos to Tomasz Olszak for working on this.

As for Android/iOS, everyone hopes for similar approach to be there
for benefit of portability. BTW, I'd like to say thank you to Jens
Bache-Wiig for support in the area of Qt Quick.

Of course Tizen-specific controls would use extra APIs, and the same
applies to Android and any other platform. But the aim is to share as
much as possible and possible work together to further extend the
common APIs.
