OK finally !

Ive been able to make an app that reports the battery percentage and using QT mobility api's.

I will post more details about this asap and the steps to follow to build using Qt Mobility api's, seems like there is a bug in the .pro files that comes along with it, I had to manually tweak them to get the builds working.

Now for some quick unit testing and hopefully Ill have something for us to look out for on the boxing day !

in the meanwhile if anybody knows about a link or info related to creating an applet in the task bar please let me know.

cheers
