Hi Holger,

I'm interested in have Qt/Qtopia/Opie to run on Nokia-770, however I
have some points:
 - If you will spend resources, do it first to port Opie to Qt4,
everyone will enjoy it and it will make things faster & easier.
Porting current code base is a loosing time :-(. Right now, Qtopia
doesn't work well with X11 display, wich is bad. Qt4 seems to address
this better.
 - If you want a Qt based GUI, it'll not be maemo's GUI and trying to
run the Maemo-WM will just take resources. So you'll probably remove
maemo-gui, leaving just maemo core... which is basically linux, so in
the end you have something which is _NOT_ maemo compatible anymore.
You'll have to use other input method, etc.

I like options and I like Qt programming more than Gtk, and think that
Qt has more embedded code base and mature software, that's why I'm
interested in this port, however it's splitting resources, which are
low right now :-(
