Nokia delivers Qt SDK 1.1 supporting faster app...
Release of the Qt SDK 1.1 includes Qt Quick for faster, easier design of Touch
Enabled User Experiences
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the release of Qt SDK 1.1 offering one
integrated development environment for creating both consumer applications on
Nokia's Symbian platform as well as for desktop applications such as Windows 7,
Mac OSX and Linux. Using the Qt SDK to build their apps, developers have a
complete, easy-to-use tool cutting app creation time in half for Nokia touch-
screen devices.
Within the release of Qt SDK 1.1, is Qt Quick, a new UI creation kit that
benefits both graphic designers and application developers. Designers can
create fluid, animated user interfaces with complete project and code editing
support for developers to then implement into the overall application. This
speeds up the development process further bringing applications to market
quicker.
Qt Quick also includes QML, a CSS & JavaScript-like language, that makes UI
development for touch screens much easier to implement. In addition to Qt Quick,
the Qt SDK 1.1 includes map and navigation features, imaging features for camera
and photo gallery access, notification API plug-ins and other enhancements that
enable developers to provide access to user content on the device.
"Developers are seeking to provide high quality, graphically rich applications
to stand out in ever increasing crowded application stores", said Purnima
Kochikar, Vice President, Forum Nokia. "With this new version of the Qt SDK,
designers and developers can work together to achieve this quicker and more
effectively."
Nokia and Qt SDK 1.1 - Large consumer audience for developer's apps
Consumers are downloading more than 5 million apps per day in Ovi Store, Nokia's
on-device app store. With today's release of the Qt SDK 1.1 developers can now
target more than 100 million Nokia devices (75 million of which are touch
devices) in addition to the 150 million future Symbian smartphones Nokia intends
to sell such as the newly announced Nokia E6, Nokia X7 and the Nokia Astound at
T-Mobile. It is also possible for Qt app developers to re-use code to speed up
the creation of apps on Maemo and the future MeeGo device Nokia will ship this
year.
