[edit] Qt Mobility

[edit]

Welcome to the Labs project page for QtMobility.

What is the Mobility Project?

It is a project within Nokia that is creating a new suite of Qt APIs for mobile device functionality. These APIs will enable cross-platform mobile application development.

What is the problem that these new APIs will solve?

Developers looking to take advantage of mobile device functionality would usually have to use APIs outside of Qt. These new APIs make Qt an even more comprehensive application and UI framework. Developers will be able to write cross-platform Qt applications that take advantage of mobile device functionality. This, for example, will make it possible to create a rich application targeting S60, Windows CE and Maemo.

What APIs will be included?

We will announce specific APIs here when they are ready for developer feedback. The code shall be available in the public repository. The Service Framework, Contact and Bearer Management APIs shall be the first.

What is the expected benefit from these new APIs?

  • Significant advantage for developers targeting mobile platforms, such as Windows CE, S60, and Maemo in 2010.
  • Build and maintain ONE application which can be deployed across MANY platforms (Nokia and non-Nokia platforms).
  • Bring existing Qt developers and new ideas to Nokia platforms.
  • Bring Nokia platform developers to non-Nokia platforms.
  • Significant advantage for Carriers and their 3rd party content developers.
  • Easier to create applications targeting many platforms

Qt Development here in Brisbane, Australia has announced it’s first tech preview release of the new Qt Mobility API’s…
so we decided to have a party.
And, better still, we decided the party would be a billy kart (go-kart) race.
Here’s some high-lights (or low-lights)
MobBilly Kart Race!

For those of you who don’t read the new Qt blog website, where Qt Marketing and Product Management talk about “corporatey” stuff (affectionately called the “PHB blog” by our developers), we’ve just announced that our brand, new bugtracker is public: see http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com.
So, I won’t repeat everything that is in the other blog (it is, after […]
