Hi everyone....hope you're enjoying your PlayBook as much as I am:)
I was curious to know if anyone has been noticing any PB apps in App World that are utilizing Qt in the NDK? Thanks friends:)

Great question! I forgot to ask this myself. Any examples we can buy to check out would be great.
I hope Cascades drops soon for you:)
Some of the apps submitted for the latest free PlayBook offer were Qt apps.
I wouldn't expect a whole lot from them initially though. The Qt port is very much a work in progress and sorely lacking in a few areas, multimedia being one of them. Possibly almost anything you find will either be a fully self-contained app (e.g. a card game), or possibly something that's mainly intended to be a foundation for improvements once more of the Qt features are fully supported.
I hope to be surprised by a few special cases, but I'm not expecting to see much of real interest quite yet. (Working on a couple of things myself, but nothing nearly ready to submit yet, and I'm unsure they will be until Cascades is into open beta, at the earliest.)
I also was interested in this question and found that some developers from MeeGo/Symbian are starting to come to PlayBook and BlackBerry 10 OS. So far I found several apps that uses Qt for PlayBook:
- Color Mania: app for converting/adjusting colors in different color spaces, like RGB/HSL/HSV/CMYK. Free
- Age Clock: 3 in 1 (contdown, date calculator/finder). Nice to use for knowing when BB10 will be launched :D. Paid 0,99
- PhotoFX Image Effects: photo editor with 40 effects. Paid 2,99
- ReAction Game: Game. Free
- PicUpR Photo Uploader for BlackBerry PlayBook. Paid 1,99
- Flood-It! Game. Paid 1,99
- Photo Pixelizer. Paid 2,99
- Watermark Photo. App to add watermarks to your photo. Paid 2,99
Both developers are coming from MeeGo/Symbian OS (I've used to have MeeGo phone). It seems that Nokia is constantly killing both platforms, so all those developers will be with PlayBook and BB10 soon (those who use Qt in their apps) as it's the only platforms that support Qt well. If anyone find more apps, please, post them here (with description if you downloaded/purchased them). It's interesting to see the migration of Qt developers :D
ReQognise, Bubble Fun and Dukto use Qt :P
