New name, new domain announced for Qt Development Frameworks

Announced at 11 August 2009:

11 August 2009 - Nokia today announced a change in both Qt Software’s name and web address. Going forward Qt Software will be known as Qt Development Frameworks and the web address will change to http://qt.nokia.com. The full rebrand is effective from today.

Daniel Kihlberg, director of global sales, marketing, and services for Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks, explains the rationale behind the selection of the name and domain:

“We want to increase the use of Qt by mobile developers and to achieve this we've strengthened our name's link to the Nokia brand. The progress of our new Qt for S60 product and our future involvement in Maemo are examples of how Qt will reach out to mobile developers in addition to desktop and web developers."

“We selected Qt Development Frameworks because at the end of the day, our goal is to provide developers with the best framework: Qt.”
