Trolltech Releases Technology Preview of Qt for Windows CE

Trolltech has released an initial technology preview of Qt for Windows CE (Qt/WinCE) to its commercial customers and the open source community for testing and feedback. Qt/WinCE is a port of the Qt API and developer tools to the Windows CE.

Qt/WinCE is based on Qt 4.3 and includes:

• Support for Windows CE and Windows Mobile version 5.0 and 6.0. (Qt/WinCE does not provide complete support for the Windows Mobile API. If you want to access Windows Mobile-specific APIs, for example for PIM and telephony, you must access these operating system features directly.)
• Complete port of relevant modules in the Qt 4.3 API: QtCore, QtGUI, QtNetwork, QtSQL, QtSVG, QtScript, QtXML and Active Qt (Qt3Support and QtOpenGL not included)
• Qt development tools: Qt Designer, Qt Linguist and Qt Assistant
• qmake extended to create Visual Studio Project Files (.vcproj), simplifying deployment to Windows CE embedded devices and emulators
• Complete Qt/WinCE source code
• Documentation, demos and examples

The final release is scheduled for late Q1 2008, with an interim beta release scheduled for late 2007. The technology preview is available now for downloading and feedback. To collect feedback, a special mailing list has been set up: qtce-preview-feedback@trolltech.com. To subscribe, send a message containing just the word subscribe in the subject to: qtce-preview-feedback-request@trolltech.com.
