Nokia Developer News - The future of Qt: Bringing apps to the next billion

2011-06-28T06:12:00Z

Yes, it's important to know more details about Qt plans on the next billion strategy. Bringing a near smartphone experience to S40 devices would be a great idea, probably the best one from Nokia in the recent time, but it's not the best moment to trust in Nokia as a developer so you should be clear on this topic.

need details

"We will disclose further details in due time; today we want our developers to see the opportunity that the future of Qt brings as part of our mobile phones strategy." - you have to hurry up with disclosing details. How big part of your strategy? People loosing trust to Nokia anouncements after Feb 2011. E.g. my employer just about to close planned huge Qt/Nokia project and move to Android. If there are no more news about bright Qt future it will happen within next month. Please, be more specific: are you going to support Qt on WP? are you going to support Qt on all new coming S40? If yes then when?

I agree with @svdwal that some more precise information (or at least some firm statement about the direction) has to be disclosed.

We (Qt developers) bet our lives on Qt as it's supposed to give us bread. If there are no projects that we can do for a living (right now it's extremely difficult to obtain commercial project because of Nokia PR mess), some developers will go towards Android. It will be much more difficult to bring them back...

Problem on downloading new QT SDK 1.1 Offline version for windows

2011-06-21T23:42:14Z

I am facing problem on downloading new QT SDK 1.1 Offline version for windows.

I cant donwload full 1.78Gb file. it can only download file of some kbs. (here not any bandwidth issue for downloading ).

Is it working well anywhere?

Agree, excellent idea, just continue to prove "Qt everywhere" with Qt on WP7

2011-06-21T20:58:22Z

Good news, but still Nokia need to be more clear about the bright future for Qt/C++. This is needed after all the bad news the last months about WP7 being the main track with tools from Microsoft.

I agree with the earlier comment: Now it's time for Nokia to prove that "Qt everywhere" becomes true. Use Qt/C++ as the main development path also for WP7.
In this case a lot of developers will be interested in developing for it ( I will, still on my Mac ).

Excellent idea...

... to put Qt on S40, if that is what this announcement is all about. But for two things:

1) why not being explicit, and say that Qt is to be put on top of S40? This is about real developer livelihoods, not some daft reality TV show.

2) you must also put Qt on Windows Phone (or whatever it is called nowadays). Having Qt also on WinPhone makes the success of WinPhone much more likely and that argument of platform segmentation we got earlier now works against you with a billion Qt devices out there soon.
