I like Gtk+ a lot, but hardly any existing GTK apps are touch friendly. So they need to be overhauled anyway. Re factoring & rewriting is usually quicker. iPhone is Objective-C, while android is approx. java based. Yet, many popular applications are available on both with near matching features (i recently switched from iphone to android so had a fresh switch-over comparison). I'm not competent enough to judge similarities & differences between Objective-C (only have grass-root NSObject knoweledge) / Java (nil) / Qt (nil). And how wide spread Qt is. W.r.t. DOA well... time will tell =) Regards, Dmitrijs. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
