[Qgis-developer] porting QGIS to Android?

[Pirmin Kalberer]

Hi Paolo,
I would personally wait a few months to see how much sucess the Meego platform 
(http://meego.com/) has. It is a very promising choice for "QGIS mobile", 
since it includes QT as the standard GUI library. It's supports Atom based 
netbooks and the first tablets are coming...
Regards
Pirmin

P.S: As an Android owner I would naturally support a QGIS port ;-)
