Qt Software announced the porting of Qt to S60 on Symbian OS. Qt is a powerful C++ application development framework, which makes it easy for developers to create applications once and then deploy them on any of the Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows CE, Windows Mobile and embedded Linux platforms. Qt Software, formerly Trolltech, was acquired by Nokia in June 2008.


“Qt brings an elegant and intuitive C++ development tool to the S60 platform, improving the ability to develop richer user experiences on the platform, and making S60 on Symbian OS even more attractive for developers to target with their applications and services,” said Sebastian Nyström, Vice President of Qt Software, Nokia.

An early technical preview of Qt for S60 is available for download from Qt Software current website www.trolltech.com. Qt on S60 will work with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and later releases. The first production release of Qt for S60 will be available in the second quarter of 2009.
