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

[Ross Bencina]

Hi Darryl

Not sure if you're prepared to go to ARM and Android and Necessitas, but I've had Qt apps running on my Android Viewsonic gTablet (aka Malata Zpad). Havn't tried multitouch but single touch works just fine.

Main advantage of gTablet is there's a strong dev community, lots of available source code for customisation etc. Probably not as good as a _supported_ Linux tablet but not bad if you're going to have to do extensive tweaking on an unsupported Linux tablet.

Ross.

  Hi all,

   

  I have developed an application in Qt, that I am selling as a product (including hardware).  Currently I'm deploying this on Windows PC's.

   

  I would like to change this to be running on a tablet, and thought that if I install Linux on it, I can make the application look more like a "System" (where to the clients they are buying an all-in-one unit, rather than a computer running Windows, and my product is an application running on top of it).  Believe it or not, my client base will believe this J.

   

  I've had a look at a Hanvon tablet, which was quite nice.  I currently have somebody trying to get Linux running on it, but I have been unable to get a response (from 3 emails in the last month) from them, regarding bulk purchases.

   

  Today I saw the Acer A500 tablet, running Android.  This may be a way to go - I'm still trying to find out if I can install a Linux kernel on that system.

   

  So, my question is, has anybody got a Qt application, running on Linux, on a tablet, with touch screen support (doesn't have to be multi-touch) and Wi-Fi?  I'm after suggestions of the hardware to use.  I want to keep the purchase price down.

   

  Thank you.

   

  Darryl
