Nokia of are cheap S40 phones smartphones. The Finnish manufacturer port are cross-platformtechniek Qt to S40. This advanced apps on the cheap phones of the manufacturer.
Nokia was not yet many details known about the port of Qt to S40. Thus, it is not clear whether Qt apps on the current S40 devices, or that a new version is needed. Nokia promises at a later time to provide more information about the port of the crossplatformtechniek.
S40 is likely to be supported from version 5 of Qt, the next major release. Nokia does not confirm that Qt is ported to S40, but rather that developers using Qt in the future many more users can operate. “For developers this means they will be able to make their Qt-developments to continue and in the future an even larger number of users can achieve,” said Nokia spokesman Jurgen Thysmans against Tweakers.net.
Nokia bought Qt few years ago with the acquisition of Trolltech. The idea was that developers with a programming interface, apps could make for all Nokia smartphones. Now seems to be, this will not apply to all Nokia’s, Qt does not support Windows Phone and that will also in the future will not happen, says Thysmans.
It is unclear when Qt apps on S40 phones can run. Although Nokia announced Symbian to phase out, the Finnish manufacturer on the long-term use of S40 devices. Qt apps can already run on Symbian and Nokia’s version of MeeGo, the N9 runs. Nokia announced Tuesday three new S40 phones in its Touch and Type series: the C2-02, C2-03 and C2-06.
