No, hybrid application is more like an application composed of web
view + javascript that talks to C++ through QObjects exposed to it.

Symbian homescreen widgets are different (somewhat more limited, no
"full" QWidget support). However, there will quite likely be an
unified way of exposing stuff in homescreen, but what the trolls are
working on now are QWidgets on homescreen, which is maemo specific.

Basically: if you implement a homescreen widget in Symbian, you will
be able to use it on Maemo too. However, it won't necessarily work the
other way around.
