[OSM-dev] New mapping Application for mobile devices: Help wanted

[Chris Browet]

Very interesting. I'm one if the contributor to Merkaartor, which is
QT based also.

Furthermore, we are using QMapcontrol for tiles , too.

As I always wanted to develop a PDA based application, I'm pretty sure
we'll find synergies, here.
My target is clearly WinCE, but QT working on CE, now, this shouldn't
be a problem.

Talk to you soon.
