[Sugar-devel] [OUTREACH] [DESIGN] Sugar for smartphones

[Ryan Cunningham]

You could go Ubuntu's way and use Qt with QML:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(framework)

Other than that, Sugar for tablets (as you proposed) can use the existing Sugar interface, including swiping from the center to a corner or edge to access the Frame; but one should also be able to touch that corner or edge directly and see the Frame.

>> This system should be called "Sugar on a Phone" (translators: "Sugar" should not be translated); it should be based on Android 4.4 "KitKat" (code name based on a trademark of Mars, Inc., with no infringement intended; this was the latest stable version of Android for smartphones as of the time of writing).

>> 'Keyboard'
>> 'Language'
>> 'Network'
