But Qt is quite widely supported right? It's certainly worth considering Qt as the base of our Linux approach if it means we could ship a single universal browser for both touch and desktop. The discussion will need to be raised for Windows too with their universal apps and thus being able to ship to mobile users as well as desktop users with a single effort. Maybe I've not thought this through enough but the only downside I can think of is the initial additional effort required, but after that it gives us much longer term opportunities and in new markets.

The problem is : I'm a ubuntu user and I would like to continue using all this stuff when Mir is released. And It would be great to have it on Ubuntu Touch too. It would be very usefull to be able to sync.
