It seemed a little confusing because even though I downloaded using a link that said something like beta 2.0.1, when it installed, it called itself 1.83 if I recall correctly.  (I'm writing this from another computer at another location.)  But I don't mean to make a big issue over the PC/N900 slight changes in source.  My main concern is to see actual web pages within WebView on the N900 using just QML.  It sounds as if others here are successful at doing that, though I don't recall anyone saying directly that they did it on 4.7 on the N900 using only QML.

This was probably the Beta for QtCreator 2.0, which is quite old already 
(2.0 has been released June 23). But since we decided to remove the Qml 
functionality after the Beta, it's indeed the last 'official' package 
bundled with a qmlviewer.

Usually I'd say that you can use a nightly snapshot of QtCreator 
instead, but it seems the one for Windows hasn't been built successfully 
for weeks. We're looking into this. Until then you can download e.g. the 
Qt 4.7 Beta2 package from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads, and configure 
QtCreator to use the Qmlviewer from this one instead of the one bundled 
with it.
