Great tools to develop awesome apps
Developing on Nokia platforms has a new focus, with three simple yet powerful frameworks that enable development of a wide
range of apps.
Follow the links below to discover the development path that is right for you.
Nokia Qt SDK
Unifying mobile development with the easy-to-install, easy-to-use Nokia Qt SDK. Build apps for Symbian (based on 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 or later), Maemo 5, and forthcoming MeeGo devices. Try it and share your feedback at discussion.forum.nokia.com.
Speed Hero
Speedhero is built for speed shooting - whether it's your penalty kick, tennis smash, drive, spike, hit or shot. It's incredibly accurate and incredibly fun. Watch this video to see their experience and reaction to Qt and the new Nokia Qt SDK.
Shazam Testimonial
Shazam has explored taking its music discovery application cross-platform with the Nokia Qt SDK. Offering music recognition from a database of over 8 million tracks, Shazam users can find out more about music they are hearing, buy the track, and share their discovery with friends and family.
Rovio Testimonial
Rovio has experienced running its games on Symbian and Maemo devices using Nokia Qt SDK. These games include Bounce, a game offering rich 3D graphics controlled by a device’s accelerometer and Angry Birds, a casual, puzzle-style game with engaging demolition physics. Rovio has ported Angry Birds and Bounce Evolution to the Nokia Qt SDK. In Angry Birds players exact revenge on the green pigs who have stolen eggs from the Angry Birds. With challenging physics-based castle demolition, Angry Birds offers hours of game playing and a high replay value.
Qt APIs Available Now
The new Qt APIs make it easy for you to include standard mobile functionality in your applications, while at the same time providing useful application functionality across desktop platforms. As a result, cross-platform development for mobile becomes even easier. With the Qt APIs, you can create dynamic navigation applications with the location API; support standard mobile applications such as messaging, contacts and multimedia; and enable network roaming using bearer management.
Offscreen
Offscreen produces over 50 unique apps for Symbian Touch devices such as 5800 MusicXpress and N97 Mini. They produce apps ranging from games to productivity, to ebooks. Watch this video to see their experience and reaction to Qt and the new Nokia Qt SDK.
Wikitude Testimonial
WIKITUDE is an Augmented Reality platform which allows you to browse the current location and helps you discover information about places and points of interest. It brilliantly uses the device camera, GPS and compass. Watch this video to see their experience and reaction to Qt and the new Nokia Qt SDK.
Nokia N900
The Nokia N900 device with Maemo/MeeGo software takes us into a new era of mobile computing. Developers can create applications for the N900 using Qt. Explore Nokia N900 features like multitasking on a live Dashboard, wide screen video capture, 3,5“ WVGA touch display (800 x 480 pixels), QWERTY keyboard and personalisable panorama desktop.
Accuweather Testimonial
AccuWeather, Inc. is using the Nokia Qt SDK to take the development of their applications rapidly through all phases of creation. The speed of the compile-deploy-test-evaluate cycle impresses AccuWeather and with integrated on-device debugging the company finds the Nokia Qt SDK 'a breeze to use'. AccuWeather is creating AccuWeather.com for the Nokia N900 mobile computer so users can obtain accurate global weather information.
Qt: QMobilePaint Example
This Qt code example demonstrates drawing on the touch UI. Tested on Maemo and Symbian.
Qt for Mobile Application Development for Education
This training material is intended for educational purposes. The objective of the course is to teach students all the essential knowle.g. and skills to develop well-written cross-platform Qt applications for Symbian and Maemo platforms.
User Experience Test Plan for End User Feedback
This test plan is meant to be used for gathering general end user feedback for mobile applications.

Nokia Developer News | Important Update for Developers Using the Nokia Qt SDK Beta and Qt Mobility 1.0.0 APIs for Symbian
by jasonblack 24 July 2010
Developers who have used the Nokia Qt SDK beta to create Symbian apps that use the 1.0.0 Qt mobility APIs must repackage their apps with the 1.0.1 version of the mobility APIs. Nokia has discovered a deficiency in the 1.0.0 APIs that causes apps to crash when devices are updated to a later version of the Qt libraries.
Nokia Developer News | Availability of the Nokia Qt SDK 1.0
by jasonblack 16 July 2010
The Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 is available starting today, and it offers a true cross-platform development environment allowing developers to create applications for both Symbian and Maemo devices. Installation is easy, as it only requires one installation package that downloads all of the Qt and Symbian/Maemo components that developers need using the same Qt Creator 2.0 as standard Qt SDK’s for use on Windows, Linux and Mac (beta).

Nokia Qt SDK
The Nokia Qt SDK leverages the power of the Qt framework and tools, combining them with tools designed specifically to streamline
the creation of apps for Symbian, Maemo, and forthcoming MeeGo devices.
Final versions of the SDK are now available for developers who have chosen Microsoft Windows or Linux as their development
platform, while a beta version for Apple Mac is available also. All versions of the SDK enable developers to code, test,
compile, and package apps for Symbian and Maemo devices. In addition, the Ovi Store is open to Qt apps, so creating and
selling apps to hundreds of millions of Nokia device owners has never been easier or more rewarding.
