Yes, I think I should start by developing on Qt for Maemo 5 and onwards, I am also curious about distribution of applications, like Android has "Android Market" maemo has "Maemo Select" but I saw one can not push paid apps into Maemo Select. Any news nokia is going for an app store for Maemo ?<br>
<br><br>I must say that:<br>This community is far more superior and have faster responses than Android community wow, amazing. I am keenly interested in learning Maemo 5+, I have already setup the environment, I am sure and will hope best that , if I will stuck at some place this community will help alot!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>

</div>However, the published Maemo 6 Framework suggests that Maemo 6 will have<br>
a very different API for the UI, even if it does use general Qt<br>
conventions:<br>
<a href="http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework" target="_blank">http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework</a><br>
<br>
So I doubt that it's very helpful to write an application for Maemo<br>
using Qt now, other than just to learn about Qt.<br>
<br>
I wish they'd publish the API reference online. You can build it<br>
locally. I can't publish it because I'm afraid that the<br>
(no-modification, no-distribution) license doesn't allow it.<br>
<br>
These blog entries give some small idea of the new API:<br>
