The Trusted Reviews reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Ace and as per their review “The Samsung Galaxy Ace isn’t as spectacular as its name suggests but it is a competent budget smartphone. As ever, the Orange San Francisco makes for a compelling alternative thanks to its larger, higher resolution screen, but the Ace has a nicer design, faster processor and better camera.”

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.
You can find the Qt port to Maemo 5 technology preview here .
Above you can watch the Qt running on Maemo 5 based Nokia N900
