But: About a simulator/emulator: This is something I am personally highly interested in. And I would like to say that since the initial MeeGo code crop, they have provided both a version of QEMU and instructions on how to get the N900 version of MeeGo running in it. So I am very confident in that exactly the thing you would like to have is already partially available and the rest is definitely something that would be in the works. In fact, if you scrape thoroughly enough, the only hurdle left is support for getting the GUI up and running. The same one that is not yet released :)
Just for kicks, this is what is at least possible since 2 months already: http://www.tuug.fi/~toni/serendipity/index.php?/archives/18-N900-running-on-Mac-OS-X.html What I am thinking is that there is going to be superb Qt Creator integration of code development, compilation, deployment and emulation out of the box for the platform of your choice, including the N900. If you can just wait until they get around to it :) -- _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
