Nokia Announces Qt 5 Plans

Posted by Soulskill on from the eggs-in-a-backup-basket dept.

aloniv writes "Since Nokia announced its switch to Windows Phone 7, people have been worried about the future of Qt. Well, it turns out Nokia is still going full steam ahead with Qt, having just announced their plans for Qt 5. Some major changes are afoot code- and functionality-wise, but the biggest change is that Qt 5 will be developed out in the open from day one (unlike Qt 4). There will be no distinction between a Nokia developer or third-party developer."

    I take it you've never had the pain of using a QT app on OSX, QT is an absolute disaster on OSX, AND looks pretty dated on Win7. If you want your app to be taken seriously, the UI NEEDS TO BE NATIVE, and thats NOT QT. By native, IU should be WPF on Windows,Win Phone / Cocoa on OSX,iOS and GTK on Gnome and QT on KDE, Java on Android. UIs need to be native, don't short change your users by giving them something that looks completely alien on every platform other than KDE.
