Hi Andrew,

Happy to add you. I just setup qtconnectivity.git wip/win branch up for this purpose.

Hi Denis/Alex,

I can't promise much development time, but I'd be happy to participate in reviews/testing for the Windows backends. The WinRT/WinPhone port might also benefit from these and so we should try to share code there if possible.

Alex,

Yes. But Windows also has restrictions for BLE (I mean, the MS BT stack has restrictions):

1. BLE is supported from Windows 8 and newest
2. BLE in Windows do not support discovery (has no public Win32 API for it).

Yes. I have a few free time to help with Windows (Win32)  (classic && low energy).

Denis

It' pretty much the same situation as on iOS. It depends on the kind of support from other developers.

The only "minor?" difference between the two platforms is that Windows could potentially support the entire QtBluetooth stack (classic and low energy) whereas iOS can only ever support BLE.

If you have the time to help out on iOS or Windows (or even in general) please let me know and I happily sort the details out with you.
