[Qgis-developer] porting QGIS to Android?

[Andreas Neumann]

+1 for Meego. It seems to be the more natural target, since Nokia is
owning qt and it will probably well supported. Also, the platform is more
open than Android.

I am not against Android, but I would have to choose in which platform to
invest (time or money) for QGIS mobile, I would prefer Meego.
