im not - very thick, and its FIC's first entry into a crowded field. i'll wait for the meizu m8, and various HTC stuff, and see which stuff works with qtopia or the openmoko stack

Android is google's JVM on top of linux, so chances are you can run qtopia/gtk stuff trivially on an Android phone, unless its locked down by a carrier.. which im sure google doesnt want
