Well.. and as I said - if a developer chooses to go the PyQt4 route then no changes are required to their app to work on the N8x0 device. As long as the dependencies are there then you are good to go.

The problem comes in that if it needs a dependency you *don't* have, like mine, then you become SOL because nobody wants to take the time to try and rebuild those dependencies when they aren't their responsibility.

If someone ports a C/C++ app to the N900 they are likely going to tell you "No" when you ask for N8x0 just because that requires them to work in a whole new build environment for something they don't have.

This is why I like coding in Python.. but unfortunately it doesn't help with the dependency situation.
