Trolltech’s QT cross-platform development kit, used primarily for user interfaces, will be making it’s way to Windows CE (e.g. Windows Mobile). QT is already available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X. I expect that once Nokia acquires Trolltech, we’ll also see it integrated into the S60 platform as well. I did ask Trolltech CTO Benoit Schillings about this (along with specific support for the Nokia Internet Tablets), but he was unable to comment, given the regulatory conditions related to the pending merger.

While I have no inside knowledge about anything in this area, this development would make it easier to write cross-platform applications for S60 and Windows Mobile while preserving the same user experience across both operating systems. Nokia Services could suddenly be available for Windows Mobile devices as well as S60 devices. Seems like a winning idea to me, at least.

Full press release after the jump.
