qt application

Nokia's Qt Software (formerly Trolltech) announced a design win with LG-Nortel using its Qt Extended development software to create Linux-based phone interfaces.

Qt also announced a distribution agreement with IT consultancy TietoEnator on using the Qt application framework, and announced a "Pimp My Widgets" contest.

Finland-based handset manufacturer Nokia announced that it has completed its acquisition of Trolltech. The Norwegian software firm's development talent -- together with its Linux-compatible "Qt" application development framework -- is likely to help Nokia improve its cross-platform support, and expand its presence in the Linux mobile device market.
