Nokia has ported its cross-platform Qt development framework to the Linux-based Maemo 5 mobile device distribution. The Qt for Maemo preview release enables developers to port Qt applications to the Maemo-based Nokia N900 phone or write N900 apps with Qt and port them to Maemo 6, Symbian, or Windows Mobile.

An initial “Technology Preview” release of Qt for Maemo, based on the upcoming Qt 4.6, is available now, and a final release of the port is due in the first quarter of 2010, says Nokia, which reported the news on the eve of the Maemo Summit in Amsterdam. By switching to the Qt development framework, developers can more easily write applications for both Maemo and for other Qt-supported platforms, says the Finland-based mobile phone giant.
