The rendering on Android shouldn't a big problem anymore: The NDK
supports OpenGL and Qt can use OpenGL as rendering engine. However I
don't know if this means all Qt apps have to run full screen on Android.

In either case the port seams much more possible that Qt for Windows
Phone 7.
If you want to use the linked Qt fork in a commercial program you have a
also a problem:
"Will there be a license issue with Apple approval process? [...] From
what I understand with the approval process you must link statically to
the QT library in static mode. There should be no other issues with
Apple beyond that."
I think there is no way to commercial license a private fork, so there
is probably a LGPL "problem".
