MeeGo for Netbook and Handheld
| API Documentation | Development Library | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Qt 4.7 (snapshot) | qt-devel | Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. |
| MeeGo Touch Framework (snapshot) | libmeegotouch | The MeeGo Touch Framework provides the features needed for developers creating applications for touch-enabled devices. Features include standardized window navigation, list and other widget behavior, and common theming for components. |
Upcoming MeeGo API Features
The following technologies are currently under development.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| MeeGo Web Runtime | Web Runtime (WRT) allows web developers to use standard web languages — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — to create applications for mobile devices. WRT exposes the features of the underlying platform so that applications can interact with device data and combine location-based context with web information. |
| Qt Mobility | Qt Mobility extends Qt with libraries providing additional features for applications targeting mobile platforms. These include the Service Framework and Contact and Bearer Management APIs. |
