Qt Apps in Preware, more on the way
Webos-internals writes to let us know that they’ve wrangled Darron Black onto the team – Black is the developer who created the Qt port for webOS. Qt, if you don’t recall, is Nokia’s cross-platform application development framework, and it’s a major win to see it up and working on the Palm Pre.
If you open up Preware right now you can find a 7 demo Qt apps (Go to Applications, switch the button at bottom to ‘feeds,’ and then go into webos-internals and demo).
The plan is for Qt to run on the "WebOS Interals Development Kit," which is essentially the homebrew edition of the Plug-in Development Kit. What does that mean to you? More Qt apps – head on over qt-apps.org for a list of the sorts of apps that currently exist in Qt and start slavering.
While the relatively short new list from yesterday might be dominated by a new “WordPegs” series that melds the quotation app with the wallpaper app (thankfully even the parts are more than the sum of some others in those maligned categories), there are still some gems in the list. Notably among them, the worshipped travel guide Zagat, in this instance Zagat To Go from Handmark. That’s not all, as homebrew graduate bubek has released a feature-packed version of the popular TimeTracker app, christening it TimeTracker Pro. Of course, two apps and some quotation wallpapers don’t say it all, so head on after the break to see the rest.
