[Interest] Qt for Android & iOS

[Jason H]

Ah yes, but the switched from PPC to x86... ;-)
PPC is a great design. We use that here, and when we moved to a new architecture, despite a 5x clock in crease it ran at the same or lesser speed than the 200Mhz part. (We have a lot of i/o, which PPC excels at) 


Incidentally, we are looking for 2 embedded software developers (full time, Baltimore, MD). If anyone knows anyone who might be interested, send them my way please. I will say our embedded use of Qt was cancelled (long story, but not my fault ;-) ) so no Qt for now, but it is a possibility again in 2-5 years.

Note that their current CPU team (ex. P. A. Semi) was once known as developers of PowerPC-compatible CPU, so who knows...
