Mobidex is inviting all Qt Developers around the world to take part in this “Qt for BB10” initiative wherein you can submit your Qt Apps to BlackBerry World(formerly known as BlackBerry AppWorld) by January 2013. This gives you a head start from other developers in making your application available to the next generation of mobile computing, the BlackBerry 10!

Aside from that, Mobidex also offers the following incentives:

1. Submit a Blackberry 10 porting plan and you could receive a Blackberry 10 Dev Alpha device. For complete details join the program now, see the official program Terms & conditions.

2. The 10k Developer Commitment – If your app earns at least $1000 revenue but less than US$10,000, RIM will pay the developer the difference between the revenue earned and US$10,000.

3. Free Playbook will be awarded on successful publishing. Only apps in final “MobiDex360 list” will be entitled to free playbook.

4. If the Qt community ports 50 eligible Qt apps to BlackBerry 10 and they are available for sale on BlackBerry App World by January 30, 2012, RIM will donate $10,000 USD to the Qt Project Hosting Foundation.
