Thank you very uch for putting your time and undeniable skills in the Maemo 6 UI Framework preview!

Very nice work zchydem! I think technical previews are meant for work like this. So I really hope Nokia will use your feedback and can benefit from your review findings.

Keep up the good work - interesting readings :)

[zchydem]

Thanks for your feedback. Even though all the findings in these reviews might not be positive ones, my intension here is to trying to evaluate the code and the design as objective as possible.

Of course there are some parts of the framework or rationale behind the design that I may not understand, but then you're free to comment and correct my crappy story:)

zchydem, now I'm curious about your opinion on a discussion where your blog posts are being mentioned: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4 (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34686&page=2)

Nice articles; a bit over my head (and I do understand most of it), but this is really great information. Thanks for sharing.

Quim: I commented the post. I guess I said nothing new there.

I finally added the part III of the Maemo 6 UI Framework. The subject is layout management.

Good ovierviews. Liked them. Hmm... About the compatibility. well, there will be full qt compatibility. DUI will be running more efficiently and more hw accelerated than vanilla qt.

Do you reckon that Maemo 6 will be available to the N900 as an update when released in 2010 Q1?

[qgil]

The only release announced for 2010 Q1 is the Harmattan alpha SDK...
