Project QTablet

• Create a fully Qt Embedded (ex. Qtopia-Core) based, open source, application framework for internet tablets e.g. Nokia N800/N810
• QTablet Application framework must provide better usability, greater look-and-feel and flexibility than Hildon Application Framework provides.

• 2008/09/16: Because the lack of time there hasn't been much progress since the last summer.
• 2008/03/17: Two developers joined the QTablet team: John Wiggins and JP Nurmi.
• 2008/03/14: QTablet project received a donation for a new N810.
• 2008/02/10: Finally I've got time to do coding and I think I'm starting to see the results soon. Currently I'm working on the menu, its configuration, look and feel. Next I'm starting to work with virtual keyboard. I'll add screenshots soon. I hope I'll get subversion repository working soon.
• Wiki page created.
• First proto version of the application framework is under construction.
• Currently QTopia 4.4 (preview) version has been built for the N800 with a Chinook scratchbox and the OS2008 beta. Proto version is quite fast and webkit demo works.
• tslib has been built and is working with QTopia Core 4.4

• QTablet source code is hosted by Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/qtablet/source/checkout. I suggest you to wait the official release before trying QTablet, because many fundamental features are not implemented yet.
