Nokia enriches application development with Qt for S60

Espoo, Finland - Qt Software today announced the porting of Qt to S60 on Symbian OS(TM), the world's leading, open smartphone platform. Qt is a powerful C++ application development framework, which makes it easy for developers to create applications once and then deploy them on any of the Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows CE, Windows Mobile and embedded Linux platforms. With the inclusion of the S60 platform, developers have an additional 80 million* target devices that they can support with their Qt-based applications.

"Qt brings an elegant and intuitive C++ development tool to the S60 platform, improving the ability to develop richer user experiences on the platform, and making S60 on Symbian OS even more attractive for developers to target with their applications and services," said Sebastian Nyström, Vice President of Qt Software, Nokia.

An early technical preview of Qt for S60 is available for download from Qt Software current website www.trolltech.com. This is in line with Qt Software's usual approach of developing Qt openly and working with the community to incorporate feedback throughout the entire development process. Qt on S60 will work with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and later releases. The first production release of Qt for S60 will be available in the second quarter of 2009.

Industry leaders to unify the Symbian mobile platform and set it free

My name is David Rivas and I head up S60 Technology Management. I hope that you noticed the news we announced together with many other industry players, about setting up an independent and open foundation to create one open and unified mobile software platform which will build on Symbian OS and S60, with selected UIQ and MOAP(S) technologies integrated.

This is great news, we are all very excited as we believe this will bring even more innovation, applications and services to the devices, as well as even more appealing devices to the market with these technologies. Given the tremendous changes going on in the market place today, I believe that this exactly the evolutionary path that we should all be on.
