The Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 leverages the power of the Qt framework and tools, combining them with tools designed to streamline the creation of applications for Symbian and the Maemo platform. Qt greatly reduces development effort through intuitive APIs that deliver more functionality from less code.

• A Framework for cross-platform app development.
• Start mobile development today with the Nokia Qt SDK.
• Build for Symbian, Maemo, and — in the future —  MeeGo devices.

Using the Nokia Qt SDK you can create apps with a single code-base for millions of Symbian, Maemo, and forthcoming MeeGo devices , as well as desktop platforms. And because Qt is a framework, not a runtime, your apps run with native performance.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has given some details about the releasing of the flash version on the Android OS in this year.

The all new macho street fighter – Yamaha FZ 16 has been launched by Yamaha Motors,India last day.FZ16 is a taut, muscular adrenaline pumping machine. The bike is designed and engineered with the potential for active and even aggressive enjoyment for its riders,due to revolutionize the biking scene in the country . The bike boasts of a 153cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder high torque engine for active city riding. The single-axis balancer reduces vibration for more comfortable riding. A negative pressure type Φ26mm carburetor with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) contributes to outstanding engine response on the FZ16. The placement of this model’s ‘MidShip Muffler’ is toward the centre of the machine to achieve good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. While 5-speed transmission provides a smooth operational touch, the gear ratios are set to provide optimum performance and agility in city riding.

Running performance and handling of the bike is ensured by A Monocross suspension. At the same time it inhibits machine bottoming while riding with a tandem passenger and provides a very comfortable ride. The front suspension is 41 mm thick, besides good absorption of shocks from the road, this suspension also provides good damping characteristics during acceleration and braking.

FZ 16 also has India’s first “140/60-17″ size rear radial with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to bettergrip and handling stability. To achieve sufficient cooling effect, the cylinder head on the FZ16 engine is designed with especially large fins as well as a shroud (air intake cowl) to effectively direct airflow to the engine.

It is being offered in 3 colours – Lava Red, Midnight Black and Flaming Orange and is priced at Rs. 65,000 ex showroom (all India).I think this is the one that will rule the indian roads.

Apple has not done well with their iPhone family of devices outside the United States, specially in India, where cheap devices from Nokia rule the roost. This is one of the reasons why Apple has not released iPhone 3GS in India yet.
