Microsoft and Nokia show off an app converter tool
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Microsoft and Finnish phone maker Nokia are showing off an app converter tool that converts from Symbian to Windows Phone.
The move to try to make it easier for Nokia Symbian developers to learn Windows Phone was announced on Microsoft's blog, which said, "So, folks from Microsoft and Nokia worked together to build a great package to help you get started."
As part of the push, the companies have introduced a "Windows Phone Guide for Symbian Qt Application Developers" white paper and have added Symbian Qt to the Windows Phone API mapping tool.
Meanwhile, a series of developer events called the "Nokia Windows Phone Training" roadshow will start today in Paris.
The roadshow is then moving on to Italy, Spain and Germany. It will be in London in the UK on 10 October and a date for Silicon Valley in the US will be added "soon". µ

is a tool that "converts" API calls from iOS and Android to Qt.

The title and tone of this article is a little misleading - all the new Microsoft tool does is convert API calls, one at a time, manually. It doesn't convert applications.
And naturally Nokia can now do the same from iOS and Android to Qt.
