Qt on MeeGo
summary
MeeGo is presented as a Linux Foundation–driven distribution optimized for ARM v7 and Atom with a MIGO touch framework for compositing, input and services, and Qt 4.7 with QML as the primary app API. The SDK uses Qt Creator, RPMs and the open-source build service; MeeGo requires OpenGL and X11 and achieves boot in 4–5s on fast hardware. A tablet prototype mixes QML UIs with native C++ plugins (status bar via shared pixmap, orientation via contextkit→QSensor bridge, media and live-window models) and works reliably; contributors must upstream patches.
