</div>What's you opinion - where is QtMobility in this which has the same purpose?<br>

On Unix platforms, applications would link to libdbus and talk to dbus-daemon. On Windows, Android, etc, applications would link to libdbusfat and talk to the native IPC system.<br>
</div></div><br>Of course the QtMobility Publish/Subscribe API could also implement a DBus layer, but it would serve a different purpose (the QtMobility publish/subscribe mechanism is not available from glib/gtk/EFL/etc AFAIK).<br>
