    Gotta love 'Cute'

    Of course, you could develop in a cross-platform manner before this, but this should make it easier. Hopefully Nokia's ownership will do nothing to dull Qt, only improve it and make it more mainstream (mainstream = better community, more investment by Nokia).

    It would have been nice to have a longer article though, perhaps something saying 'Nokia bought Trolltech (blah blah) and it has been used by companies such as Google for-

    Since when was wxWindows, erm, wxWidgets the toolkit of choice on Windows, Mac, GNOME or KDE? Has the "native widgets" mantra of wxWidgets now evolved into a delusion about ubiquity for want of merits over its competitors that might actually persuade people to use the software?
