[Qt-interest] Any plans for Qt on Android and iPhone OS?

[Marco Borm]

I'm no expert on Android and iPhone but my thoughts about this questions 
are:
iPhone: Technical possible, but I don't think Nokia likes the Apple 
iPhone very much. On the other side the lack of iPhone support could be 
a reason for OSX developers to choose native Cocoa instead Qt.

Android: As I know the UI part of a Android application has to be pure 
Java and the NDK is only for the backend. So even you use something like 
Jambi, which isn't possible without rewriting all the UI stuff, the 
result is still not source compatible with Qt/C++.
A lot of work without a big benefit.
Maybe if Android moves to a X11 based architecture...
