It will make it look nicer rather then outdated when compared with other apps from other mobile platforms and they do compare them.

LOL NICE Trolls :

>QT which will make cross platform development, like porting
Qt isn't the only one

>symbian apps to meego and meego to symbian
Require modifications not multiplateform

>and to other platforms easier and less work,
Hum ... same as other frameworks.

> so we end up with a load of apps rather then a few... ???
TROLLS ... as now if gtk isn't really support in meego ... we will lost a load of apps :)

Re: Say NO! to Qt-based Maemo!

My general feeling about Meego & QT is that Nokia is abandoning 5+ years of developing the Maemo OS, associated libraries, build tools, etc. and community infrastructure in favor of an ill-defined partnership with Intel & the potential for easier porting of apps between Meego & Symbian devices. They are imo starting over from scratch & alienating existing users and developers at a time when Maemo is starting to mature into one of the most robust operating systems for phones.

Re: Say NO! to Qt-based Maemo!

The move to Qt has nothing to do with MeeGo (in fact, Moblin used mostly Gtk+).

Hi sevla, as the button is a child of MyWidget, the MyWidget destructor will automagically delete it :)

Just another great feature of Qt :)

They have a long history of abandoned projects, which replacement turned out even worse.

I feel very similar, imo they really had some momentum building with Maemo and, instead of picking the ball up and running with it, they threw it away. I hope Meego is installed on a lot of TVs, vending machines, and car radios because I can't see it gaining much marketshare in smartphones or netbooks, I will be more than happy to be served a slice of crow if I'm completely wrong, I suppose time will tell.

They are still using it currently.
