[Qt-interest] Any recommendation for a tablet running Qt?

[Николай Шатохин]

Please, use Ubuntu as OS. It support multitouch and gestures (with
touchegg package). Unity 2D desktop environment was written on Qt4.
And it's good interface for finger. Ubuntu has ARM version (but not
stable yet), or you can use x86 version with Intel Atom or new AMD's
chips.
