<h2>Qt on Symbian</h2>
<p>Qt provides support for the Symbian platform with integration to the S60 framework. If you are developing apps for the Symbian, Maemo or MeeGo platforms in most cases, you can use Qt under the free LGPL licensing option. Qt is cross-platform, and that means that you can use the code from one single code-base and rebuild for all <a href="supported-platforms.html">supported platforms</a>.</p>

<h2>Key Features for Symbian Development</h2>
<p>On top of all the tools and the API and class libraries that Qt offers, Qt provides you with added functionality for an optimized Symbian development experience.</p>
<a name="native-look-and-feel"></a>
<h3>Native Look and Feel</h3>
<p>Qt will detect which theme the phone is running and applies the style at runtime to your Qt application. The look and feel of your applications can also be easily customized in a fraction of the time and lines of code required for traditional UI styling with Qt Style Sheets.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtquick-components-symbian-1.1/index.html">Qt Quick Components for Symbian 1.1</a> provides a native QML component set.</p>
<a name="graphics-features"></a>
<h3>Graphics Features</h3>
<p>Qt for Symbian contains a powerful paint engine that provides features such as anti, aliasing, gradients, curves and transparency. It also has animation support with timelines and easing curves. It is already targeting future device technology by supporting hardware acceleration using OpenVG.</p>
<a name="device-configurations"></a>
<h3>Device Configurations</h3>
<p>Using Qt for Symbian all supported Symbian devices provides automatic support for swiching between landscape and portrait mode, different screen resolutions as well as touch screen and key pad input.</p>
<a name="cross-platform-development-using-qt-creator"></a>
<h3>Cross-Platform Development using Qt Creator</h3>
<p><a href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/index.html">Qt Creator</a> is a complete Cross-platform IDE included in the Qt SDK. The IDE allows programmers to create, build, debug and run Qt applications accross all supported platforms.</p>
<a name="licensing"></a>
<h4>Licensing</h4>
<p>Qt for Symbian is available under the Qt Commercial License, the LGPL v. 2.1 "LGPL") and the GPL v. 3.0. Symbian currently licenses their software products under either the Symbian Foundation License or the Eclipse Public License ("EPL"). While the LGPL and the EPL are not compatible and may not be combined on a file-by-file basis, they may be used in a common environment provided that the interaction between Qt and Symbian is limited to: dynamic linking, inter-process communication and data exchange. Therefore, most Symbian developers can use Qt for Symbian under the LGPL.</p>
