One problem could be that Qt is C++ based. (Well, sort of, it uses an own preprocessor which parses the source code and apparently hasn't been updated to recognise some of the newer language features of the last twelve years or so.) The reason I know this is that I have to wade through this kind of things at work. A Plan 9 or Inferno based phone would really be neat, though. Martin
