Since the Nexus 7 fits in one hand, it is still more like using a phone or an e-reader. I usually read something from my Instapaper queue when traveling in Berlin subway or bus, and haven't ever seen anybody taking any attention to the devi

I've heard people mentioning they already have Qt applications in both App Store and Google Play, but I don't know any specifics. So I suppose the support is there with some tweaking already. And of course Qt will be the main SDK for both B
