Perhaps I'm missing something, but none of the available licencing options seem suitable for non-commercial apps. "Trial" will just stop working at some point, while "standard" will start billing the developer once past the quota (no idea about premium, but presumably it also costs real money). The FAQ (Q11) recommends "standard" which seems strange and inappropriate in that context. Any thoughts on this?

webOS is also webkit, but doesn't work (both versions 2 & 3 go into an infinite reload loop).

If someone wants to try Maemo 5 support this is the first aspect to be considered.
How about Presto (Opera)? The example code doesn't work on it currently, but this seems like the easiest way forward for pre-Harmattan devices since even Mozilla have abandoned ship.
