Nice to see Qt advancing steadily. Hoping that QML perf was particularly increased. The new WinRT and WP8 integration is nice to see. QQuickWidget is also a good idea, will allow for gradual migration of legacy QWidget apps to the new QML b

No it is not a competitor. In fact, it can be a nice addition to asm.js. asm.js compilers should be able to generate very efficient code from SIMD.js constructs.

Waiting for the VideoCore V :) I noticed that the Broadcom LTE offerings such as the M320 do not use VideoCore and instead use PowerVR 5XT. Is it because they were originally Renesas designs? Hoping to see more VideoCore action in the futur

For Linux, did you try the Bumblebee project? I had some success with it. Once bumblebee is setup, if you want to use the Nvidia GPU for some program, you just launch it as follows: "optirun /path/to/your/program&qu

I don't develop for iOS so this one surprised me: "How many downloads on iPad, iPhone, iPod separately". Does Apple really not tell you the device breakup?
