Mubasher — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:32:10 +0000

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 .

Teamed Up to Form Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group

Mubasher — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:39:58 +0000

So they all are teamed up to form Mobile High Definition Interface Working Group. Who ? The Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba Corporation. I think it’s really a great news.

I always like two approaches in the industry one the real competition and the second to team up and work jointly for some great innovative achievement. And the same is happening here – all these companies are intended to create an industry standard for an audio/video interface to connect mobile phones or portable consumer electronics (CE) devices directly to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays.

This new mobile connectivity standard, based on Silicon Image’s Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, will be defined, promoted and marketed by the Working Group as an industry standard open to anyone desiring to be an adopter and enable the development of mobile products that adhere to this new standard across a broad connectivity ecosystem.

It is also expected that the working group will organize a Consortium of founding members who will develop a mobile connectivity technology standard specification that governs transmission and reception of high-definition content between portable devices and display devices, to support connectivity in accordance with the new specification.
