[Qt-interest] What is likely to be in Qt 4.8?

[Scott Aron Bloom]

Ill give a great example of where I am making money because of QML...
And frankly, to be blunt.. that is all I care about :)

Customer has a embedded system, that needs a UI.  While they make their
money off the functionality the box provides, not the UI, the UI is
important.

However, each customer they sell to wants their OWN UI...    Their
customers wanted something like flash.. Where they could program the
flash UI and tie to the embedded system.. They got a bid, to PORT flash
to the system.. 200k in USD..

I was able to put together a system using Qt creator, and QML for under
40k...

BTW.. .ui files and C++ wsa not an option.. Their clients will work with
QML type coding, not C++

I said already we think QML is important for Qt. It's a great way to
define user interfaces and do it quickly. It's also a way to bridge the
gap between designers and developers, allowing designers to work with
the actual tools that developers have.

That applies to all segments, not just mobile.
