Does it mean we can grab any Qt app and put on our maemo device or does the development of Qt apps for Maemo begin now? Or do we have to do the same thing that we do for gnome apps I think it is. In that, some kind of porting must take place? What's the ultimate benefit to the end user? Qt coming to Maemo?

The phone has an application manager that helps you through the application download process. Within the application catalogues listed there's around 17 Qt applications listed. I've not downloaded any myself.

No doubt there will be ways of installing others on the phone by storing the inst file on the device then running the file from the x-terminal window. Seek some developers advice for that stuff tho, again within the forum.

:D
