Sina technology news on the evening of October 21 Beijing time, Nokia announced on its official website today that it will use Qt as the only development architecture for the future Symbian and meego platforms.
Nokia will provide developers with more unified and concise development tools to encourage the developer community to develop applications for the Symbian and meego platforms. Nokia plans to use Qt as its only application development architecture to ensure that its applications are compatible with future versions of Symbian and meego systems. In addition, Nokia announced that it will support the use of HTML 5 to develop network content and applications on Symbian and meego platforms. To demonstrate Nokia's support for new technologies, Nokia will use QT to develop future applications to create a more consistent user experience and promote better integration of applications and services.
Nokia focuses on QT, a powerful, mature and tested architecture, to fully tap into the software and hardware potential of existing and future Nokia Symbian and meego smartphones. Nokia QT quick will allow developers to develop applications with rich user interfaces and visual effects at a faster speed. Qt's built-in HTML 5 support will also help Nokia achieve its goal of supporting HTML 5 in a web browser.
The advantage of simplified development mode is that all future versions of Symbian will be developed in the QT environment and compatible with the existing Symbian 3 platform. This means that Nokia's strong support for the Symbian platform will not only benefit future Symbian users, but will also bring system updates and upgrades to existing Symbian 3 users.
"These strategic technological decisions will allow us to provide consumers with the widest possible experience and as many opportunities as possible," said rich green, Nokia's chief technology officer. For developers, these decisions allow them to promote their applications to a larger user group. For consumers, this means that their Nokia products will continuously experience the best applications on the market and get the latest experience from continuous system updates. We firmly believe that these decisions will not only bring huge opportunities for developers, but also for NOKIA ." (Zhang He)
