There is n-trig and synaptic now (dell venue pro) except wacom. In docs about QtabletEvent I found nothing about support any of these technologies.
Well since there's a line in Qt documentation:
Tablet Events are generated from a Wacom tablet.
So I believe the answer is yes. I think the reason is because it's hard to support any other drivers in cross-platform fashion currently.

I spotted a strange thing. I have a webcam (a4tech p-635, pretty old) which is not recognized by any UWP app, like modern skype. With standard apps, everything works like a charm. I will say even more; same code in Qt compiled with MinGW can handle this camera, but compiled as UWP, can't detect her.
Have you any ideas? I can't find anything which could be a cause. Thanks.
That is most likely caused by the camera drivers. UWP app API is great at abstracting devices and access them via the simple API, but if the webcamera is not recognized, it must be that the drivers for the camera are not providing the right interface that UWP can use.
Please check if there are newer drivers available and if you cannot install some generic driver that would make the camera work.
If I write a Qt Gui application in c++, will it work on the Android OS?

So, yes, it is possible. Personally I would recommend always using the native platform where possible - chances are it's going to be more stable across all the various Android devices.
I'm evaluating Flex 4.5 for use as a mobile development platform. The demo version of the IDE supports android and promises to support iPhone development in future. There's no mention of Windows Phone 7. Usually, this is the sort of thing that google excels at but in this case, I've come up empty handed. I've found many contradictory reports of Adobe supporting WP7, then not supporting it, then supporting it but not in the initial release.
Has anyone come across any official announcements from Adobe on this? I understand that companies change their priorities and business relationships change so I'm not looking for a crystal ball, I'd just like to see the latest communication from Adobe on this is.
Flex 4.5 can currently be used on Android and iPhone, however WinPhone7 is kind of out of the loop for now. There has been some demos of it shown, but who knows when Microsoft/Adobe will work together to get Flash out on Internet Explorer mobile or get to having Air on WinPhone7.
I know personally that Adobe is aiming for it, but not sure how much of a priority it is since WinPhone7 is still an underdog in this arena. My feeling is that it will come, but not just yet.
Flex/Flash hass not been mentioned on any public timelines for Windows Phone 7.
I think it's safe to assume that you won't see it any time soon.
What is the difference between Qt for Symbian and Qt for MeeGo? I know Qt is a cross-compiling platform. Does this mean that if I use a library from Qt the exact same library works on all devices which support Qt (e.g. Symbian, MeeGo)?
For example:
QtDesktopServices can launch a web browser. Despite the name 'Desktop' is confusing for mobile devices can I launch a web browser on every device which supports Qt? If I look at MeeGo, MeeGo is used for different kind of devices e.g. In-Vehicle, TV, media phone
Is it guaranteed that every device has a web browser on it? I don't think so and that's why I'm asking. If a browser is guaranteed, which browser is it? Which features does it have? I know there is WRT, but a user here stated that WRT has discontinued. So what now?
Do I have to choose between Qt 4.7 and Qt Mobility 1.0?
What leinir said - Qt Mobility is a module that implements common features for mobile devices. Qt's API is the same on all platforms, though there are some platform-specific functions (mainly dealing with low-level stuff).
While the API (the interface) is the same, the implementation of course may be different. I suggest looking at the Qt online documentation - the pages linked under "Platform-specific Development"
According to "Platform notes - Symbian", the Symbian port is not complete and lacks some features (e.g. OpenGL support is "planned for a future release", while printing probably never will be supported). I'm pretty sure that the MeeGo/Maemo version supports OpenGL ES, as I've seen a Qt-based application using it (Stellarium on a Nokia N900).
QtMobility is an extra module for Qt, which provides a bunch of extra functionality which is more esoteric than the other 13 or so Qt modules, but functionality which is really useful when you are building applications the way you suggest.
So no, you don't choose between Qt 4.7 and QtMobility 1.0, because you have to use Qt to be able to use the extra module QtMobility :)
The browser will always be whatever is set up as the default browser on the system. So, no, there is no guarantees - for Windows, for example, you might have people using Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 6 and many others. This is the nature of platform integration, i'm afraid :)
What exactly does a mobile need to be able to run JavaFX? Can it run on any mobile that supports specific JSRs or does it have to be installed by the manufacturer?

JavaFX/Mobile Devices - This question (February 2009) says that although manufactor support is preferred, many MSA-compliant phones will be able to handle an over the air player
It has to be installed by the manufacturer.
For development purposes you can use the developer stack for Windows Mobile.
