If you mirror the client on many machines (regardless of the OS), then the same javascript code will run -- exactly how web browsers work today. The benefit is run-anywhere, easy to develop and test code. The cost is app performance (you won't likely see an PSX emu developed this way).

This is WILD speculation (none of it is real information), but it's a reasonable solution with some very large benefits.

Yes this was wild speculation

We are not using any web based stuff. But you pointed out exactly the point : If we go Javascript, python or any other dynamic language you pay the price for performance.

That's why the code is PURE QT, and thus runs on the N97, and the N900 without any modification to the source and no ifdefs.

It would be too simple to use JS on top of QTwebkit

The demo is to demonstrate that Nokia is getting there real cross platform development
