Thanks for the pointers.

So:-

Nokia today released Qt 4.6, the latest version of the cross-platform application and UI framework. Featuring new platform support, powerful new graphical capabilities and support for multi-touch and gestures, Qt 4.6 makes developing advanced applications and devices easier and more enjoyable.
Qt 4.6 includes support for the Symbian platform for the first time, and also adds Windows 7, Apple Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and the upcoming Maemo 6 to the list of Qt supported platforms. Also available is community support for real-time operating systems QNX and VxWorks. Support for Maemo 5 is also currently in development, with the second technology preview being released today.
QT4.6 is a cross platform development platform?

Do I need it in order to run apps that have been developed on it?

Is there some kind of write once, run anywhere ethos behind it?

Yes, its installed as a dependency automatically when you install QT based apps.

No, it's more like "write once, compile anywhere".

He means that you write the code once and then recompile it so that it works on different platforms. I guess Qt takes care of the rest.

Ah, hence the multi platform support. So a piece of software written on a windows 7 machine could be compiled to run on a N900.

And how difficult is it to recompile for different platforms?
