Nokia announced the official Qt port to Maemo 5 and also published its initial technology preview release. This will ensure that now developers can use Qt to target upcoming N900 devices and applications can be easily ported to all Qt supported platforms including next Maemo 6 release.

This port is designed specifically to work within the Maemo 5 environment. The port itself will be based on Qt’s upcoming version 4.6 and is scheduled for final release in Q1 of 2010.

Nokia is hoping to see Qt as a leading framework for mobile application development. From developers perspective, they would be able to use Qt as a framework to create native applications. And with Qt Webkit integration, they would be able to create web applications and services.
