This was a good incentive for me to research the state of Qt on Windows 
Mobile. There was a preview release in April, and it doesn't look bad at 
all, being based on 4.4 and pretty much complete. Noteworthy is the lack 
of Qt3Support which is needed for Cumulus (yet). Annother issue might be 
the future license for using the release which is not clear yet.

I don't think many Unix-specific functions are used in the source; 
certainly the GPS I/O would have need to be adapted for the Windows world.

So, if you have some time and a Visual Studio on your hand (I don't know 
about your coding experience), why not play around a bit? Of course there 
are no guarantees of any kind ;-)
