3. Agenda About Qt Software Cross Platform Development
Why Nokia aquired Qt

4. Qt Software

5. Qt Everywhere
To enable development of software that is independent of operating systems and hardware - better and faster than ever before
Trolltech’s vision is to make it possible for our customers to create software that is independent of the underlying hardware and operating system platform.
By enabling our customers to create software assets once and to deploy them virtually everywhere we enable faster time to market, maximizing the amount of innovation and differentiation possible with your engineering and product development resources. Trolltech software also vastly simplifies the work needed to adapt to new operating systems and new devices.
Qt delivers competitive advantage by delivering tools and frameworks that work the same - everywhere. Qt traditionally has been a rich client framework – but now, with WebKit (coming up in Qt 4.4), you can also add a web client to your Qt-based applications. This means that you can build hybrid, iTunes-like applications, mixing local and server-based content and application logic.
Qtopia adds on the benefits of Qt by delivering major parts of the infrastructure and applications needed for a wide range of devices, for home, consumer electronics and mobile use.
This means that Trolltech delivers proven, universal, broad-reaching solutions for your application and device development needs. 5 5

6. Millions of Desktop, Mobile and Embedded Devices
Desktop applications (Google Earth)
Personal Media Players
Net-books
Refrigerators
& Coffee Machines
Mobile Internet Devices
(Nokia N810)
Set-top Boxes
Navigation Systems
Mobile Phones
Our software is found in over 15 million devices worldwide.

7. Qt Software, a Nokia product A unique 15 years of success
Trolltech founded in Oslo, Norway in 1994
Publicly listed in 2006
250 employees worldwide
5500+ customers
217 mill. NOK in 2007, up 25% from 2006
Hundreds of thousand open source developers
Acquired by Nokia in 2008

8. The Business Model Dual Licensing Model
Quid pro quo licensing philosophy
GPL license for free software use
Commercial terms for commercial use
LGPL for free and commercial use
Same products, multiple licenses

9. “Virtuous Cycle”

10. KDE 12 year of building better software with Qt
~ 4000 applications today

11. Pioners on embedded + Qt Embedded started in 2000
+ Kick starting Open Source development for embedded
+ Sharp Zaurus in Nov 2002
+1200 free software applications, new added rapidly

12. Running “Desktop” software on Mobile Internet Devices

13. KOffice ...

15. Nokia's Software Strategy
Rich cross-platform development and great internal framework
Applications for multiple platforms from Qt: a single source code base
Bring efficiencies, speed to market and reduced maintenance
Nokia (Ovi) and 3rd party software and services
Qt Cross-platform framework and tools
Chipsets
Mobile Platform
Embedded Platform
Desktop

16. now on S60 (pre release)
Target over 80 million devices with Qt for S60
Deploy your Qt for S60 applications to Windows CE and embedded Linux
Port your Qt for S60 mobile applications to Windows, Mac and Unix/Linux (X11)

17. Free us from the silos
Today many device manufactures and software developers maintain several code bases for the same application, when targeting different operating systems and devices.
Qt can increase Nokia productivity and time to marked, targeting desktop, mobile and embedded platforms with a single code base.
Of several benefits with Qt, speed to marked and reduced maintenance cost are great advantages for Nokia and everyone else using Qt.

18. All form factors
Asus EEE
Nokia N810
Greenphone
FreeRunner

19. Foundation for future innovation
Increased use of Qt, including contributions and feedback from innovative projects, will ensure that Qt is of the highest quality possible.
The widespread use of Qt both in free and proprietary projects, translates into greater richness and stability across and between platforms.
A continues improvement of Qt gains both Nokia and everyone else who uses it.

20. Why did Nokia acquire Trolltech?
Acceleration of Nokia software strategy
Re-use code across devices
Provide rich user experiences
Easier enable deployment of services across devices
Access to great people with a great culture
Expand the role of open source and KDE
Software and services
Framework and tools
Mobile Platform
Chipsets
Mobile Platform PC

21. Nokia and Open Source
Community rules: Nokia want to learn from their success
Nokia want to continue to build the strong track record of Qt. That's why Nokia acquired Trolltech
Nokia will sponsor people and projects
Nokia is and will be even more active in various areas: KDE, Linux kernel, X.org, Mozilla, supporting FSF etc.

22. Thank you!
