Clarifying the Qt and Digia headlines – Qt facts and fiction.

Advertisements   Last week, Nokia sold its Qt LICENSING AND SERVICES business to Digia. Based on some title around the web alone, which is pretty much what most places ran with, it seemed as a follow up to the Windows Phone Goodbye-Symbian-MeeGo plan, Nokia were giving up on Qt.   The Qt Blog have made […]

The case for a tablet

The case for a tablet

Copy And Paste – Symbian users didn’t feel this was really a feature to shout about until Apple made it the next big thing in an iOS update. To be fair, although Symbian has had this for much longer, iOS did make it easier to perform. They polished it for Joe Average. Now you’d think […]

Tommi Laukanen strikes again with yet another awesome step forward with QT QML projects. Inspired by Flipboard for iPad (which he says would be the one app to make him get one) he’s sought about to mimic Flipboard’s page turn effect with QML script. Flipboard for iPad looks great huh? I wonder what other aspects […]
