The best I have seen so far is the MeeGo and Mer projects (both developed
for touch), but I have not hardware (tablets) with those. SailfishOS or its
community ports might be of interest, though the community ports does not
support Android apps, where Sailfish has emulator and integration.
Anyway Qt5 is really promissing, but in some aspects it might be too early.
However I think it is worth looking in this direction.
