 From my point of view, the most important stuff is a seamless 
integration of Qt and Android. Having an integrated development 
environment is nice (and quite necessary indeed!) but i don't mind 
glitches in the IDE. I care more about Android look&feel, application 
resuming properly from background running, assets and files access, 
proper location and multimedia interface, proper Java intercomunication 
and so on. This is the stuff which will determine the success of 
Necessitas, because people will use it or not if thay can easily port 
their already existing apps.

I don't see anybody starting a new app for Android in Necessitas at the 
moment, just porting existing ones. This means, ideally all of Qt stuff 
and QtMobility stuff has to work, possibly better than on Symbian&MeeGo 
(for example, MeeGo dropped support for QWidget, as anybody trying to 
force portrait mode on that platform discovered).

I would be interested in working on some QtMobility stuff, like 
QtLocation&satellites, since my app that's what's needed. Just don't 
have time at the moment since i have a big major release coming up 
before summer.

While i do prefer to use necessitas under windows, because due to 
Symbian support it's my main platform, i don't really care too much and 
i could switch to Linux if needed. Again, since i think most of 
develoèpest will switch from Symbian Windows should be well taken care 
of. At the moment all my experiments on Necessitas have been with 
Windows, and i have been quite pleased. I don't care for the laest 
release of Qt Creator tough.
