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

[Jason H]

Android runs on a Linux Kernel. Usually ARM.

As long as the tablet's boot loader is not locked down (as in only boots 
authorized images - like the Motorola Atrix phone) you can put anything on it 
that you want. Motorola's Zoom tablet isn't locked down.

If you do decide to go your own firmware route, I'd recommend TinyCoreLinux if 
you are running on an x86 platform. I'd also recommend asking them for an ARM 
distribution. :-)

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


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
