So how long do you think your dual-core 2.2 ghz laptop would run on a battery that small?

The defense rests their case, your honour.
he just disregarded the technology used in mobile gadgets. thinking that it has no economic value. resistors this small, processors that efficient but this powerful yet small, etc. those technologies were not used in laptops this time. that's why laptops are cheap. by the time mobile gadgets get another upgrade in technology, those technology will do for laptops.

Then they can all use branded versions of the Ovi Store. That sounds like some world domination stuff, and it is. No one can address as many devices and desktop systems with one app framework other than Java, which sucks, other than Nokia. So everyone making apps, this is the holy grail.
If total compatibility does happens, I believe it'll be the holy grail. I just doubted how many people will get converted to Qt. hahah. It's brilliant, the idea of creating the program engine only once for all device, and then create the cosmetics for any device you like.

just googled and saw qt compatibility on winmo.
