That does help.

Sorry but im still confused about the hildon framework.
http://maemomm.garage.maemo.org/docs...l/classes.html
I thought that hildon framework was some kind of a wrapper over GTK developed for Nokia handhelds.

So my choices can be QT OR GTK OR Hildon , isnt that right ?

Id still go with QT as its C++ based and I can use either C++ or python for creating the app, but I just wanted to know what this hildon framework classes in the above link were, and whether it gives me more options for creativity while creating the app .

Thanks again.
Hildon is an extension to Gtk, that adds Hildon specific widgets (like the pannable area). The majority of elements used in system applications are Hildon widgets, not plain Gtk widgets. Hildon also has many helper functions to use Gtk widgets in the Fremantle style, to apply the right themeing, etc.

Qt for Fremantle is doing the same now, with custom widgets that behave like their Hildon counterparts. However, those haven't been used extensively in applications yet, as it was just released a very short time ago.
