hmm, for me, maybe plasma mobile, tablet profile on the tablet laptop, if it 
has a normal kde setup should be pretty trivial to get it going.
the qtcomponents thing that i shown in the last blog entry however is a bit 
more painful to get it working (needs libmeegotouch and qtcomponents 
installed)
