Mobile devices already became one of the most necessary things nowadays. There are several mobile platforms in the market like Symbian S40, Symbian S60, Symbian Anna, Symbian Bella, IOS, Android, Maemo, MeeGo, and so on. Until now, Symbian series, IOS, and Android are the main platforms for mobile devices. The Android platform uses multi-brand method to extend the market. IOS is used on the product of Apple Company, but the number of the users is growing every day. Maemo is not a new platform. But it was designed to be used in Linux kernel. That makes this platform a professional platform. However, because of the open source feature, there are lots of homebrew applications can work on it.
Qt framework is supported by Maemo platform and that gives possibilities for the developing work. MeeGo platform is the next generation of Maemo, it has been published by Nokia this year. That means the Linux Mobile platform will become more popular in the future. As to the situation of Android right now, it is not only be used on mobile phones, but also on some micro computers for using quick start system.
In this study, a method of the developing work in Qt framework and using Python language is discussed. Qt framework and Python language are both supported by Maemo and MeeGo platforms. The product can work not only on Maemo/MeeGo platform, but also on Symbian series platforms directly. That means the idea of real cross-platforms can be implemented.
