I never got to understand all that maemo, symbian, meego operating system differences. Couldn't they just use linux and get some QML frontend in front of it. It seems really a lack of direction/duplication of efforts.
- Geee 15y agoWell, it was their strategy all along with Qt, but it's been slow ride. Everything is Qt on new Symbian, MeeGo and upcoming Meltemi. Qt is natively on the new BBX and will probably be on Android. Qt is also their main strategy besides WP, so we will see how things pan out.
- krelian 15y ago>Qt is natively on the new BBX and will probably be on Android. What do you mean exactly? The only thing I am afraid of losing if Nokia goes down is Qt.
- Geee 15y agoWell, I might be confused with exact terms, but Blackberry supports Qt on it's new platforms, meaning developers can distribute Qt apps. See http://blackberry.github.com/ndk/components.html#Qt http://blackberry.github.com/ndk/components.html#Qt If I'm correct, the Qt Lighthouse is integrated in Qt 4.8 (now RC1), which means easy porting for any platform, including Android. Remains to be seen if Nokia and Google come in terms with this officially though. Of course, you can already distribute Qt apps on Android, using third party ports like Necessitas: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/28/necessitas/ http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/28/necessitas/ .
