Partly, thanks. I should probably read up a bit more on the WRT internals at some point, but I'm expecting that there will be some kind of javascript API to access Qt- or device-specific functions. I was wondering if that's already in QtWebKit in some way ... OK, did a bit of reading and that does seem to be the case (it's called Platform Services). You'd just use something like this bit of javascript:

Code:
var so = device.getServiceObject("Service.Calendar", "IDataSource");
And since all that stuff seems to be working already, I guess there's little point from Nokia's perspective on doing it with Gecko.

Re: QML. Hmmm. I really do hope this kind of stuff gets standardised, otherwise none of it will last... And why isn't this kind of thing being done under the auspices of HTML5?
