Android App Info : Heartbroken app-maker Qt sneaks into Android's bed

The effort towards a Qt library for Android is progressing, with a fourth and final alpha

Qt is a library of cross-platform APIs which
enables even complicated apps, such as VLC's
VideoLAN, to run across operating systems.
Nokia bought the owning company, Trolltech,
back in 2008, then dumped the technology
earlier this month. The move left Qt with an
uncertain future, but seemingly a future which includes Android.

Qt ended up with Digia, who took on the 125
Nokia engineers still working on the project.
Digia promised to keep the momentum going,

out later this month, but that's for desktop
systems, not phones. Qt-on-Android is a community effort, developing an Android library as an open source
project under the moniker " Necessitas", and
