On Dec 1st, Nokia released QT 4.6.

The major new improvements are: (from nokia’s website)

Advanced Graphics Effects
Opacity, drop-shadows, blur, colorization and many more graphics effects can now be used with Qt 4.6 to create more exciting UIs.

Animation and State Machine Frameworks
The new Qt Animation and State Machine Frameworks allow developers to create simple or complex animations, without the hassle of managing complex code.

Gesture & Multi-touch Support
New support for gestures and multi-touch input methods make it possible for developers to create better user interaction on touch-enabled devices.

Here’s a little video of the Hand Gestures:

Do you think QT will be the cross platform IDE of choice in the future? I believe it’s development speed, and improvements could catapult it to being the leading platform in Mobile Devices, and could possibly form Windows to be usable.

    java and c# have majority of the market
