So, as the title says - what does Qt mean for me?
- It becomes easier to port apps between other platforms. Some people had Qt apps for desktop machines which can now work on mobiles with minimal effort.
- The same app can target Maemo/MeeGo, Symbian, Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows Mobile, and more.
- Basically, they give a nice IDE and a nice environment do develop with.
- It is easier to understand for developers from other platforms to begin with.
Basically, development for the N900 became quite LESS a pain in the *** for most of the people.

Thinking of what Qt means to me gives me an irresistible urge to splatter this thread with lolCt's....
Ps: yep, to me it's a bridge between maemo's strengths and symbian's.

Qt = Code less, create more, deploy everywhere.
Of course, it is native code, so you must recompile for every platform you want to support.
There are also platform-specific APIs for convenience, but you can wrap them in #ifdef's to preserve compatibility with others.

qt_sdk : symbian/maemo/meego/linux/linux-fb-embedded/wince/macos/windows/etc. = xcode_cocoatouch : iphone
qt works everywhere and is LGPL! and if you want you may always use a different toolkit/libraries, or code plain c and use very lowlevel api!
any more words about that great nokia strategy?

I am a geeky N900 user who likes gadgets. I like dipping my toe in with the N900 and trying new things but don't like getting my feet wet. I have no ability in development what-so-ever. In the 5 months of ownership I have found the N900, so far, to be a satisfactory device following on from the host of windows mobile phones i've used. I am happy with my decision to buy an N900 and have found the community to be great source of information and assistance.
Before the release of the 1.2 update there was a lot of talk about what would and wouldn't be included and how good it was be etc etc. A lot of what i picked up seemed to be about Qt and a new implementation of which would be included with the 1.2 update. If i believed everything i read i would be thinking right now that it was going to bring a host of new functionality/apps to the N900.
So, as the title says - what does Qt mean for me?
