mikec - which one!

google offers a qt3 version of a walkthrough that the folks in #qt said i shouldnt follow since qt3 is depreciated.

(bah, you edited your post to include some examples, thanks!)

i looked over a load of the qt creator demos on my pc but couldn't at the time get them on my machine

is there something i can do now for my n900?

there are pyqt apps springing up all over the place, but i don't know whether they include enough of the 3d api to be usable.
can you point to one in extras-devel already thats mobile optimized and simple enough to play with and expand on?

(or just use the CODE /CODE blocks and paste some simple pyqt stuff here!)
