Abstract

The recent proliferation of mobile platforms makes it difficult for developers to find the most appropriate platform for one's needs or even target multiple ones. A review of key concepts on Android, iPhone and Qt points out important commonalities and differences that will help to better understand the respective platform characteristics. As mobility is an important aspect of such phones, the ability to access mobile-specific functionality is investigated. Implications at every concept visited will then point out things to keep in mind as a developer.
