Project QTablet

• QTablet is or should be a light weight application framework for internet tablets or what ever platform/device that can run Qt applications.
• QTablet should scale from small displays to larger displays
• QTablet should provide cool effects such as transitions, pannable widgets and support for rotating the application framework
• QTablet should provide fully finger usable interface for touchscreen usage. We don't like pens..
• QTablet should provide an easy way to port existing Qt application to the framework at least in a way that they can be run by the framework even though they wouldn't be good user experiences.
• QTablet should support running other X11 applications e.g. osso applications, if QTablet runs on X11 platform
• QTablet should run on framebuffer without X11 and in X11 platforms
• QTablet should run on Qt Kinetic in the end

• Create a fully Qt based, open source, application framework for internet tablets e.g. Nokia N800/N810.
