RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML

Didn't know where to post this, move if necessary...

RIM's only major value is BBM and their enterprise services. If they were smart they would license out BBM to make up for their losses.

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

Still,that larger strategy notwithstanding, it is not an UNwise move to embrace Qt, especially from the perspective of many here.

So now, Qt is on:

windows desktop
linux desktop
mac desktop
windows CE
embedded linux
symbian
maemo
meego
BB 10
Android ( http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/necessitas/ )

need ios ( http://www.qt-iphone.com/Roadmap.html )
need wp7

Qt is a good move, I was just speaking in general.

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

Could be just the kind of thing that needs to happen, yet another e-flop decision to move away from Qt and go to the lovely closed design of Windows Phone.

When the masses of manufacturers and developers adopt something you called useless and tossed it aside, the board should start to realise that you are a m0ron lol.

Yes, move to Qt & QML is a very good move. More over experienced qt developers are working for them when nokia abandoned qt ecosystem

blackberry 10 platform looks promising, like meego harmattan, they also provided qt quick components to ease development.

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

I like Qt very much:

Works with
- C++
- Python
- Lazarus


Nokia has everything but isn't able to make use of it.

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

Any hints about official Python (PySide/PyQt) support ? :)

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

fwiw RIM is a top sponsor at Qt Contributors Summit:
http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2012/04/25/...butors-summit/

About Nokia's involvement in Qt, see http://qt-project.org/wiki/Nokia-and-Qt and weekly data at http://www.macieira.org/blog/qt-stats/

There is another initiative that seems to be more active nowadays, see https://twitter.com/#!/Qt4iOS

Re: RIM bets heavy on Qt and QML
 

thanks for the better ios start info. Still not going there, but it is valuable i suppose for adoption :)

quim, care to speculate, hypothesize, hint, deflect on wp7 and qt? I saw the metro phonegap stuff out, Maybe there will be cooperation.
