Hardware that snowball is a dev platform for (cortex a9, arm mali) is going to 
be widely available in phones in near future (likely starting as android hw). 
From app development perspective the hw platform is not all that interesting, 
the main interest should be in getting meego (1.4?) running on it. Apps will 
come for free after it.

Good idea!

As for work actual on that, most of our stuff is in as pure QML as possible, so 
porting to yet another Qt platform is mostly about relayouting and performance 
tuning. If there's going to be some market for real devices, we are likely to 
join. If there's no market, we'll be joining as long as somebody pays for it, 
e.g. if they decide to sponsor first hundred of snowball targeted apps.
