MacOS/WinCE poll[ 10 votes ]
1. MacOS X 4 / 40%
2. Windows CE (Pocket PC) 6 / 60%

Which port we should create first?

Windows CE should be relatively easy, and there are in fact more WinCE units in the world than Macs...

OTOH, MacOS X is demanded more here.... but is much more complicated.

What should we do first?

Hard choice.
From my egoistical and experience point of view - CE, but in terms of marketing - maybe MAC?
What if to start doing both?
OK, let's go ego...

The thing is resolved now...

It will be WinCE. There are several reason:

- Qt does not cover WinCE, means there is a market niche
- it is much easier, as WinCE is just a varaint of Win32
- there is in fact more WinCE hardware in world
- it will be very interesting to do this with U++ style (no dynamic libraries etc.), something like the final proof of concept...

OTOH, MacOS X is nest stop in any case.

WinCE is certainly my most favored.
Making platform support packages for various phones would surely increase interest in U++

Unfortunately, we are just starting the step before the WinCE step... Smile (Refactoring Draw)

Well, I have still hard times to persuade Tom that supporting other Image formats than 32bit RGBA is useless (at Image interface level) Smile
