MeeGo Touch is a Qt based application development framework targeting mobile touch screen devices. It is part of MeeGo API (along Qt 4.7). It provides all the necessary building blocks for creating native applications that follow the MeeGo Handset UX guidelines . The framework itself is built on top of the Qt Graphics View Framework.
