    [quote author="Lukas Geyer" date="1346067315"]I don't know if Digia takes on the Necessitas project, but they've promised an official port to Android (as soon as iOS) as soon as possible.[/quote]

    Qt may have bright future on mobile platform if Digia keeps its promise :)

        They have not acquired Qt yet. Have some patience :)

            Yes, I'm not discouraging that :)

            Similar question was posted on Necessitas ML recently, to which Bogdan responded that he was not contacted by Digia yet. In Qt dev ML, Digians have stated, that it's too early to say, the deal has to be finalised + there is a lot of other things they need to prepare (all the legal stuff, etc.).

              I wouldn't be surprised if Digia prefer to do it from scratch. There are plenty of good reasons to do so. I hope it won't take long, QPA should make it fairly straightforward.

                Even the speculation makes me excited :D I am very eager to see what is coming (as is everyone else, I am sure)

                        Necessitas alpha 4 is now available for download. There is no information on whether multimedia features have finally been implemented thou, which is fairly important, at least for me.

                          Digia said it would ' quickly ' enable Qt on Android and ios. I thought they may work with the exist ios and Android ports, from Ian and Bogdan. No information on the ios port. There site shows 20% completion for a long time. This may be still in consideration, once they fully acquire Qt from Nokia.

                              @Jayakrishnan..

                              "Quickly" can be a fairly relative term, especially considering what we'd like to expect as "quickly" includes the actual acquisitions of the framework, which will likely take some time itself. I wouldn't hold my breath literally :)

                              I wouldn't be surprised if Digia decides to do a port of Qt5 instead (which would mean wait for Qt5 to be finalized too). Necessitas is using Qt4, which is not a bad thing on its own, but it might also be using the old platform infrastructure instead of QPA/Lighthouse.

                                The transfer of Qt to Digia should complete this month right ?

                                  Not quite. The deal should now be officially finished. Actually making it all work - as I imagine - might take some more time. This is not easy stuff. 100+ people need to have their paperwork updated, trademarks have to be transferred, new management structure built, new targets set... but maybe my imagination is too vibrant here. There is a possibility it will be finished quickly and easily. We just don't know, that's my point :)

                                      Any news about Qt for Android? May be just rumors... I'm waiting for official Android support with holding breath.

                                        I think the timeline is Q2 of 2013, I think I read it on Digia blog, not sure.

                                          In short, don't hold your breath (literally) - the Qt blog is very quiet since Digia took over, at least compared to before, my guess is there isn't much going on to report of.

                                          I would be nice to have some more information and perhaps a nice roadmap of what exactly is Digia planning on and when it is to be expected...
