AccuWeather: Powered by Qt

Mark Long, senior software developer at AccuWeather, Inc., talks about the creation of the AccuWeather application. Mark explains the advantages he found in creating the application using Qt Quick — in particular the speed at which he could create the app's UI — and how the technology has enabled him and his team to focus on their app's user experience.

So QT is both for Symbian^3 and MeeGo (Maemo)?

I wanna test that AccuWeather app on my Nokia N8 cause the available public version is very bad and so buggy!

@curseknight5 Qt is a cross-platform application framework  with which one can develop for Symbian, MeeGo, Linux, Windows and Mac.

Meego is Linux RPM? UBUNTU is the biggest Linux distro, but DEB based. Many DEB apps are written in QT.

Does this mean that a Nokia app is easily modded for all versions of Linux? What about other operating systems: Android, IOS, Win7, etc?

QT is a new secret OS?

[Nanozander]

It's developed using QT right? So it'll be available for the N8? Damn, you guys should've done this for the N8's launch instead of that default one..

I really love Qt Quick :) I know how easy is it to port it, please just select the Symbian^3 target :)

Please :)
