Sorry for the NooB questions
There is an effort to port QT to iphone. But as far as I know, there are legal clauses put in by Mr. Jobs which state that any app created with a third-party toolset or library will not be permitted on the app store.

So the only way to use QT iphone apps would be on jailbroken phones in a non-Apple app store.

QT apps aren't automatically portable unless: 1. it's a PyQT app and 2. you're looking only at those platforms that already have a Python interpreter.
For all other platforms, the QT libraries need to be ported and then your QT app written in C++ needs to be recompiled.
On Android, the current QT implementation has to play nicely within the dalvik vm and it is not a complete port yet.
