As of Aug. 11, Qt Software will be known as Qt Development
Frameworks and the web address will change to
http://qt.nokia.com. Qt Software was formerly known as Trolltech,
so this is the second name change the company has undergone. Qt is a
cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, developers can
write applications once and deploy them across many desktop, mobile and
embedded operating systems without rewriting the code.
Daniel Kihlberg, director of global sales, marketing, and services
for Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks, explains the rational behind the
selection of the name and domain:
“We selected Qt Development Frameworks because at the end of the
day, our goal is to provide developers with the best framework: Qt.”
Kihlberg also said, “We want to increase the use of Qt by mobile
developers and to achieve this we've strengthened our name's link to
the Nokia brand. The progress of our new Qt for S60 product and our
future involvement in Maemo are examples of how Qt will reach out to
mobile developers in addition to desktop and Web developers."
