Has anyone tried the Android beta for tablets? How good/bad is it? I'm curious to try it out but I don't have a tablet at the moment.

It is _beta_. Don't use it for production work! I'm currently paying Sharaf who did the original port to work full-time on fixing Android/ChromeOS issues, but we're not even at the stage where we can think of implementing a tablet-friendly user interface again.

What did you do with it? A Qt Widgets maintainer here looking to hit the mobile as well.

We just made it build, which needed a bit of hacking in Qt, and then some hacking in Krita, but it was doable within the scope of a Google Summer of Code. Of course, the devil is in the details, and that's what Sharaf is working on now.

Hm, so you run Qt Widgets on Android as it is?

Yes.
