Digia, the software powerhouse listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki exchange (DIG1V), today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Qt software technologies and Qt business from Nokia. Following the acquisition Digia becomes responsible for all the Qt activities formerly carried out by Nokia. These include product development, as well as the commercial and open source licensing and service business. Following the acquisition, Digia plans to quickly enable Qt on Android, iOS and Windows 8 platforms.
One of Digia's key objectives with this acquisition is to improve its position within the Qt ecosystem by further strengthening Qt's R&D capabilities and expanding its reach on many more platforms than ever before. Since Digia acquired the Qt Commercial licensing business from Nokia in March 2011, the operation has continued to be successful and has grown substantially. Digia forecasts the acquisition's impact on its 2012 revenues to be positive. In the following years, Digia forecasts the Qt business to grow. As part of the transaction, a maximum of 125 Qt people from Nokia will transfer to Digia, mostly based in Oslo, Norway and Berlin, Germany. This business transaction will significantly strengthen Digia's product business and supports Digia's strategic objective to grow internationally.
Digia encourages all current ecosystem members to continue working on improving Qt with full confidence in Digia's continued investment to make Qt the leading cross-platform development framework. Digia will work with ecosystem members to secure a successful release of Qt5 and is committed to continuing the Qt Project in order to maintain Qt's availability under both open source and commercial licenses.
"We are looking forward to welcoming the Qt team to Digia. By adding this world class organization to our existing team we plan to build the next generation leading cross-platform development environment," said Tommi Laitinen, SVP, International Products, Digia. "Now is a good time for everyone to revisit their perception of Qt. Digia's targeted R&D investments will bring back focus on Qt's desktop and embedded platform support, while widening the support for mobile operating systems."
"Nokia is proud of the contributions we've made to Qt over the past four years. We are pleased that we've been able to work with Digia to secure continued development of Qt by the current core team," said Sebastian Nyström, head of Nokia Strategy. "Digia's plans to acquire Qt mean that it can continue as a successful open source project and also offer continuing employment for many people in the community."
Qt has been used by over 450,000 developers and thousands of leading companies worldwide in over 70 industries to power the most innovative, mission-critical and renowned applications and UIs. Qt Commercial is a leader in a number key market segments including automotive, medical, advanced visualization & animation, industrial automation and aerospace & defense. In the future, Digia expects that Qt will have a key role bringing world-class user experience and user interfaces to embedded systems and consumer electronics.
More information will be available shortly on qt.digia.com and qt-project.org which will be the main information-sharing sites for Qt.

不错,Qt在一个纯的软件服务商支持下, 有望对多平台更好的支持,尤其是嵌入式领域。

与Qt的兼容,实际上是推动了他们这些平台应用软件的开发群体发展,想不出理由,他们为什么不乐意接受,

是件好事.
前段时间与Digia北京的一个工程师聊,Nokia是以用户的身份买Qt的.买Qt的主要目的是用.所以,在开发上投入很有限.经常是售后服务找不到人.
卖给Digia,在开发上的投入及服务上,会提高很多.

做这么多平台,能做好吗?实际中,能有几个客户要求要跨平台了

跨平台的好处是,我们可以用已经熟悉的东西这做不熟悉的平台下的开发.本质上即统一API.

如果说为了开发某个跨平台应用,或者将已有应用移植到其它的若干个平台,而导致需要学习新的平台的开发接口,这成本要高吧.

东西多了有利于互相竞争学习促进发展,但过渡竞争就太浪费资源了.

用一个开发小组,搞定N个平台,用N个开发小组搞定N个平台,结论显而易见.

Linux/Unix下的基本开发接口几十年不变,而Windows下的开发接口(或高级开发框架)十年甚至几年就要变,搞的大家都跟着跑累了,不断要学习新东西,旧东西不能很好的传承.

实际中,要求跨平台的太多太多。。。上至航空航天,下至工业医疗嵌入式消费电子...
桌面用户,一般要求至少跨 windows & Unix系列(含linux), windows保留是因为历史原因,毕竟windows宝刀尚未老,linux是因为很多行业领域专用的软件都是基于linux开发,可以解决很多win平台不能解决的软件资源整合问题,且部分行业有去windows化的趋势,譬如国内军工。
桌面另一个典型,如果你的软件是某硬件配套,而你又希望这个硬件在多个平台上用,譬如上网卡,你就需要横跨mac/windows/unix系列
嵌入式消费电子需求更清晰,譬如跨WinCE, Linux, Android是谁都希望的。
事实上在嵌入式平台里鲜有好的UI解决 方案,这也是Qt最有市场的地方。
在实时操作系统上:Integrity, VxWorks, QNX, Qt都是很好的UI解决方案,在未来甚至是最好,不是之一。

终于找到新东家了,这个东家应该比Nokia更能体现Qt多平台应用开发的特色,We plan to continue the work originally set forth by Trolltech over 15 years ago to develop a framework that allows to write code once and deploy it everywhere – by adding support to Android, iOS and extending support for embedded platforms, we have a possibility to target hundreds of millions of new products. 听起来就让人感到振奋!

大家放心有了 QPA 支持多平台会容易的多,目前vxworks, qnx, blackberry都很快的被支持了。
IOS 和 android 会很快的。
而且由于QPA的原因,整体代码的质量会更好的。
