[Interest] Qt on Windows Phone 8

[Jason H]

"Windows Phone 8 offers native support for the C and C++ development 
languages. This will be a boon for developers. Microsoft also plans to 
offer a wide range of APIs that work between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, which is possible thanks to the shared core." http://www.informationweek.com/news/windows/operatingsystems/240002414


Qt? :-)

There was an experimental DirectX back-end at one point in time...(2006?) QPA to the rescue today?

if I understand  correctly ... at this time :
- Ios  : QT5 qml can be port to ios regarding V8
- WP8 : Qml qt5 use opengl acceleration, WP8 will use only directx 11 .. 
perhaps angle lib is the solution ?
