Nokia announces QT as the only development environment for Symbian and Meego

Nokia will use QT as the only development framework for future Symbian and Meego platforms, the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11307.html > official website announced today. Nokia will provide developers with more unified and concise development tools to encourage the developer community to develop applications for Symbian and Meego platforms. Nokia plans to use QT as its only application development framework to ensure that applications are compatible with future versions of Symbian and Meego systems. In addition, Nokia announces that it will support the development of Web content and development applications in the Symbian and Meego platforms using HTML 5. To showcase Nokia's support for new technologies, Nokia will use QT to develop future applications to create a more consistent user experience that drives better integration of applications and services.

Nokia focuses on the powerful, sophisticated and tested architecture of QT to fully tap 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 interface and visual effects at a faster rate. QT-built HTML 5 support will also help Nokia achieve its goal of supporting HTML 5 in Web browsers.

The advantage of simplifying the development approach is that future versions of Symbian will all be developed in the QT environment and compatible with the existing Symbian 3 platform. That means Nokia's firm support for Symbian will not only benefit future Symbian users, but will also bring system updates and upgrades to existing Symbian 3 users.

"These strategic technology decisions will enable us to provide our consumers with as much experience as possible and to provide developers with as many opportunities as possible," said Rich Green, Nokia's chief technology officer, Richie Green. For developers, these decisions allow them to extend the application to a larger user base. For consumers, this means that their Nokia products will be able to continue to experience the best applications in 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. ”
