Qt for Cross-Platform Mobile Development

" summary

Claims Qt yields over 90% reusable code across Maemo, S60 5th Edition and Symbian^3; Futurice reports 40% of mobile projects now use Qt. Shows a real WordPress client compiled for N900, S60 3rd/5th, Symbian^3 and Windows Mobile — initial release built in ~2 months by 2.5 developers. Notes concrete limits: QWidgets choke on hundreds of widgets, standard input dialogs miswrap, blur effects fail on some Symbian ports, and hardware access still requires native APIs. Recommends GraphicsView + QStateMachine and cautious testing per device.
