Nokia Targets Open Source Qt 4.6 at Symbian

“Among the big new additions to Qt 4.6 is support for the
widespread Symbian mobile phone operating system. Nokia is one of
the biggest supporters of Symbian, with the vast majority of its
devices using the OS. In 2008, it purchased Symbian and has since
set on its own open source path. As a result, bumping Qt to version
4.6 — its second update this year — signals an acceleration of
Nokia’s developer efforts.

“”Qt 4.6 marks an exciting time for developers, regardless of
their target form factor or platform,” Sebastian Nyström,
Nokia’s vice president for application services and frameworks,
said in a statement. “Developers can easily create visually
appealing and web-connected applications for desktops or devices,
including targeting the hundreds of millions of Symbian and
Maemo-based devices.”
