[Qt-interest] An alpha version of a Qt for Android SDK (called "Necessitas") seems to be available now

[Constantin Makshin]

I wonder if developers of this port are going to [try to] send their
Qt and Qt Creator patches upstream to ease port
development/maintenance and to make others able to use one Creator for
all platforms (may be somewhat important for Linux users who have to
choose between several Creators: distribution repository, desktop Qt
SDK, mobile Nokia Qt SDK and this one for Android).
