[Qgis-developer] QGIS on Maemo/Nokia N900

[Andreas Neumann]

answering myself more on this thread:

this video here shows that one can use a stylus with the N900 maemo5. So 
we wouldn't be limited to using QGIS only with clumsy fingers, but could 
also build a GUI to be used with a stylus. A stylus would also be more 
useful than fingers for editing vector data.

See the video at:

You need the flash-player to watch this video ;-( had to download it for 
my machine first for being able to watch this video.
