MeeGo Adds Value to Using Qt

jasonblack | 25 February, 2010 18:15

Nokia and Intel's joint announcement at Mobile World Congress brings new value to using the Qt cross-platform application and UI framework.

Nokia and Intel said they will work together to create MeeGo, a Linux platform that supports multiple mobile hardware architectures, including mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, media phones, connected TVs, and in-vehicle infotainment systems.

Qt is MeeGo's native development framework, meaning developers will be able to write MeeGo applications once, then easily port them to this newly expanded range of devices and platforms. Developers can then market these apps through Ovi Store by Nokia and Intel's AppUp Centre.

The first release of MeeGo is scheduled for the second quarter, with compatible devices launching later in the year.

Learn more about MeeGo.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia released version 4.6.2 of Qt, the cross-platform application and UI framework. This release adds a Smart Installer for Symbian (Beta) and Qt port to Maemo 5, in addition to bug fixes and optimisations. Also released was an update to the Qt Visual Studio Add-in, an updated build of the Qt SDK, and seven APIs in Beta form that provide access to mobile device functionality and make mobile development with Qt easier.
