Help make Plasma Active 4 shine

Plasma Active 3 was released on 15th October 2012, and since then, work on the next version has not stopped for a minute, now the work on Plasma Active 4 is well on the way.

Another important release at the horizon is the KDE Plasma Desktop shell 4.10, due in February.

We believe our desktop and mobile products are closely interrelated, both from a technology point of view and from a continuity of the user experience, therefore Plasma Active 4 will be based upon the KDE 4.10 release. This will mean that PA4 will automatically gain some of the features of 4.10, at least from the technology platform point of view, but means also another important thing: ease of setup.

We are planning to release it around the end of March, and since some hardware is approaching as well, this release is more important than ever.

Plasma Active 4 will have a number of important new features over PA3, there are countless small improvements, and few features that will be really visible, including:

    Faster and more usable web browser
    Improved usability of the on-screen keyboard
    Numerous improvements in the File browser application: faster, more usable and scalable to very big amounts of data
    Device-wide ownCloud    ownCloud integration
    "Developer mode" on the device, to more easily work with it
    More user friendly ui for setting alarms
    Better notification
    New applications
    Community support for new devices
