+1,

I must add, you may want to take a brief look at the sample active
application that are at the moment in the plasma-mobile repository and
try to make a new very basic one, then start to put a bit of chrome of
it (you can even try to do a first prototype that uses just a couple
of images instead of actual pages)

would be quite interesting for us as well, because we can notice where
the major difficulties in writing an active application are, and
document the process.

Cheers,
