Introduction to the application development
This section provides a brief introduction to the application
development scenario on the latest Symbian platform release.
You can develop the user interface for your application with Qt
but some mobile technologies are not yet supported by Qt modules.
In these cases you will need to use Symbian C++ APIs in order to implement
that functionality.
The following technologies are not yet supported by standard Qt
modules so you will need to use Symbian C++ APIs for them:
Telephony for making phone calls and checking the call status.
See Telephony.
Bluetooth for short distance wireless data connections. See Bluetooth.
Digital Rights Management for protecting your content. See Digital Rights Management.
OpenSSL for cryptography features. See OpenSSL.

- Application architecture
When you design a Qt application for Symbian devices you
must make various design decisions such as what technology to use
for the user interface and what kind of services your application
will make available to other applications.
- Mobile application technologies
Qt Mobility 1.1 and the Symbian platform provide a choice
of APIs for creating mobile applications. This section describes the
APIs and provides links to more information about the Symbian platform.
- Creating an application using both Qt and Symbian C++
Most mobile technologies are covered by standard Qt modules
but there are some technologies where you will need to use Symbian
C++ APIs. When you use the Symbian C++ APIs, you need will need to
translate between Symbian data types and mechanisms and the corresponding
Qt data types and mechanisms.
