Hi Kimaidou and Steven

Yes, I'm using QGIS on my openmoko with qt-extended 4.4.2. But it is far from 
a productive state, it was more like a project for some evening during the 
christmas time and now I unfortunatelly don't have time to work on it anymore.

Still it is quite usefull for me as it displays the GPS coordinate and I can 
load a tiff file, zoom and pan and show a red circle at the current position. 
Some things are hardcoded at the moment (e.g. the transformation from wgs84 to 
the swiss coordinate system).
The application is not QGIS with all the dialogs. The application has its own 
small gui and just links to qgis_core. The speed is not very fast but still 
quite good for mobile use (ca. 2sec. delay for pans on a 25 mbyte tiff).

I'm uploading the cross-compiled libraries and (modified) qgis sources to the 
link below. The sources need to be modified because in qt extended, some 
classes don't exist (e.g. QCursor)

Regards,
Marco

P.S: I heared two weeks ago that Nokia does not continue the development of 
qt-extended. So it probably would make sense to build upon another platform 
now.
