Why not? Isn't Munich known for having good beer for grown ups?

In case you did not know already - it's availabe under http://www.qt-project.org/ :-)

And for another piece of convenience, read Lars' blog post "here":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/10/21/the-qt-project-is-live/ :-)

After a bit of digging around our developer found that it's an issue with the version of the CMS (its JavaScript components) that we are using. When we do the next upgrade it will no longer be a problem.

Thanks for reporting :)

Finally booked a room! I will stay in MEININGER Hotel München, near the Hackerbrucke station.

@Vass : This is near the ex Kurpfalz Hotel ..

windows embedded is not windows Phone.
WIndows embedded is meant for Industrial PCs.

Windows Embedded was formerly Windows CE.

Too much interesting discussion, I will answer later :)

I only had a quick look at it in a shop, so I just got a general feel for it, and cannot answer your specific questions, sorry... but I was really impressed with what I saw, and hope to own one in a week or two.

Thank you. :)

Hi, all the big news were announced - MeeGo and LiMo will be merged in Tizen. I have created a "new thread as a believe the new OS requires special attention":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/10153/.

[quote author="fluca1978" date="1317020288"]Also consider that a lot of big industries have to pay for legal support to not break other patents![/quote]

That's actually another huge problem for independent developers and startups. And if you take a look at history that's where innovations usually come from.

As an independent developer I do not have the funds nor the time to check hundreds of thousands of patents I could possibly break. On the other hand I should sign contracts where i obligate myself that the resulting product does not infringe any patents. When taking a look at the number of patents granted I assume that's nearly impossible by now to create an application which does not infringe any patent.

The US patent law is completely broken (more specifically the decisions by the FC combined with case law) and the constraint to publish applications through stores subject to US law (for example Apples AppStore) makes this de-facto a worldwide problem.

I've just had some wine, my supernatural counting powers may be somewhat diminished ;)
