Testimonials:
"The Last.fm software gives music fans an easy way to track their
listening habits and receive music recommendations. Qt was a natural choice
for us because we had to support any potential listening environment. Last.fm
integrates with all major media players on Windows, Mac and Linux with a
single open source code base. Without Qt, that simply would not have been
possible. Furthermore, Qt's new support for Windows CE and Windows Mobile
gives us the option of easily supporting those platforms."
Toby Padilla, VP Desktop and Client Software,
Last.fm
“I am a long time Qt for Windows developer, having used it to create several new applications. Now with Qt for Windows CE, it is extremely easy for me to port these applications to WinCE devices quickly. I also happen to think the design of the Qt library is much better than MFC.
Before testing Qt for Windows CE I tried the .NET Compact Framework
to develop applications for WinCE devices. I found the performance of .NET
Compact Framework based applications to be very slow and did not perform
well. With Qt for Windows CE the applications performed much
faster.”
Frank Pönitz, Software Developer, IQSoftware

We have been using Qt 4.x for the desktop for several years now and
are very happy. We recently decided to introduce a new version of our
software that would support Windows Mobile. Initially we were looking at many
months of effort to port the software to MFC. However, thanks to Qt for Win
CE, we were able to reuse most of our existing Qt software on Windows Mobile.
This saved us many months of effort significantly reduced the risk of the
development effort.
