Nokia has revealed that it is working on a Qt port to Maemo 5 and has actually released a technology preview of the package. Based on Qt 4.6, which is set to arrive in Q1 2010, but also on the community-driven Qt for Maemo project, the port enables developers to make use of the cross-platform application and UI framework to make their software work on the upcoming Maemo 5-loaded N900 ‘mobile computer’ and also on Maemo 6, Symbian and Windows Mobile devices.

“With this announcement and our upcoming port of Qt to the Symbian platform, we will quickly see Qt established as a leading framework for mobile application development. Developers will be able to use Qt as a framework to create powerful native applications and with Qt’s Webkit integration, it also provides them with a platform for creating web applications and services,” said Sebastian Nyström, Vice President of Application Services and Frameworks at Nokia. “Qt’s support for Maemo 5, Maemo 6, Symbian, as well as Windows Mobile makes Qt the most sensible choice for developers looking to target multiple devices and achieve the broadest reach with their innovations.”
