Hi,

Mario, could you please elaborate a bit more on your negative experiences?

We are considering using QML in a production mobile client, where the
intention is to use it for a "thin" UI layer, so the real functionality is
implemented in Qt C++, but is this a risky strategy? Is QML still only
suitable for demos? ;-) So far we have made some UI prototypes, and even on
old Windows Mobile handsets, they worked pretty ok...

Thanks,
Bo
