A gentle reminder: please occassionally check back on bugs you've reported and resolve them if they have been fixed in recent versions.

Kubuntu has packages for 4.8 bringing updates to Plasma workspaces and a load of KDE Applications. To quote a nice user posting on kde-devel "I upgraded to Ubuntu's Precise Alpha 1 a few days ago.

As most of you are probably well aware, since quite a while it is not very hard to write Qt applications to run on Android devices.
