Can the embedded jetty server work on ios devices?

Can the embedded jetty server work on ios devices ?..I have a requirement to build an offline web application that should work on all devices (iphon, android phones, mac, linux etc )?

I have done some research around it ,and couldn't find ways to get the embedded jetty server to work on ios devices. So the answer so far is no.

Qt iOS Android Wlan or Bluetooth

I have to develop an App which run on Android and iOS (iPhone). These devices should communicate with other devices (Windows, Linux, iOS, Android). Is Bluetooth communication and/or Wlan Ad Hoc possible with Qt and Android /iOS?
Thx.

Communication is quite easy realized ove WLan using QNetwork*. Bluetooth can become quite challenging. Almost all devices support WLan while some Tablets and similar devices do not support Bluetooth (especially the cheaper ones). Also the complexity of code is much easier using standard networking ?(WLan) function.

Support for Android and iOS still "tech preview" in Qt 5.1, but network should be available. In the worst cases, you can use NDK until having Qt full support
For bluetooth support, this is in dev (http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-dev/qtbluetooth-index.html), maybe available in Qt 5.2. You can test it or use directly NDK
No simple solution actually...

Equivalent of configuration profiles (iOS) for Android, Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry

In iOS, configuration of email, wifi and vpn etc. can be pushed over the air using Configuration Profiles. Is there anything equivalent for Android, Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry?

Look to the BES technology for BB. Everything is controlled by Service Records. But I don't know way to push/install custom Service Records. But I think there is definitely some way to do that.

I think you are searching for OMA DM which can be used to manage a device similar like the apple profiles. The OMA DM framework is currently not part of Andoid, but some mobile device manufacturer, for example Samsung with the Galaxy Note or Motorola with the BRAVO added it to there firmware. Microsoft Windows Mobile also used OMA DM. According to the ATT Website Windows Phone 8 also supports OMA DM.

If I buy a Nexus one in Best Buy can I use it for develop applications?

I want to start Mobile Phone development, but I am very very new to this area, I have 3 choices: iPhone, Nexus One and Windows Phone. I believe Nexus one atracts me more. But I have never bought a smart phone. My questions is: If a buy one Nexus One from Best Buy store, can I use it for developing Android applications?
I appreciate your help, nobody helps me with this question and I am a novice in smart phones.
Thnak you

For the most part you do not need a device to start doing mobile development. You can download the Android SDK complete with an emulator here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you're not sure which kind of development you'd like I'd recommend downloading the toolkits for all the major ones, trying them out, and then decide.
Android
Windows Phone
iPhone
Blackberry

You don't develop mobile software ON a mobile device. You use them to test.
If your choice is Android vs. Windows vs. iOS, then you need to decide what kind of software you will be writing.
For native apps, all 3 use very different development platforms (java vs. .net vs. objective-c).
If you're going to go the HTML5 + Phonegap route, then it really doesn't matter. And you really don't need a physical device anyways...you can always test on simulators.
If you want to do ANY app dev for iOS, though (be it native or phonegap) you WILL need OSX on a desktop/laptop computer.

First decide what operating system you want to work on as DA suggested. If you have decided to develop applications for Android then iPhone and Windows phone is of no use to you.
Only those devices having Android Operating System you can use, Nexus One or Samsung GalaxyS are good options.
But before buying anything you can start developing applications as there is emulator provided which does most of the work that a device does.

Android installation in a mobile

Is it possible to install Android in a normal mobile phone?
I have Sony Ericsson Naite which has only key pad interface (No touch). I would like to install Android in my phone for experimenting with it. It will be great if its possible to dual boot Android with Symbian :-).
Do we need any other special hardware to install operating system in a mobile phone? Will Android work on a key-pad mobile?
Any pointer/suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

The Naite is a fairly simple handset running on the Sony Ericsson JP8 platform.
End users are not supposed to be able to update the firmware on the phone.
Only Sony-Ericsson partners are supposed to get the PC software to update the firmware and only Sony-Ericsson is supposed to be able to create new firmwares.
(maybe you can hack the phone so you get it to boot on android or symbian but that's going to be unsupported behavior that nobody will guarantee)
If you want to experiment with creating your own android firmwares, I suggest buying an ADP2 handset from google.
If you want to experiment with creating your own Symbian firmwares, I suggest buying a Texas Instrument Zoom 2 device since it is the reference platform for Symbian.
The Zoom 2 seems to also support Android, by the way.
If you just want to experiment with application development on both platforms, I suggest using the two SDKs and emulators first.
There are some pretty cheap Symbian phones out there, particularly in the Series60 3rd edition range and, depending on where you live, you might even be able to find a Pay-As-You-Go Android phone like the Pulse.

I STRONGLY encourage you to go visit the XDA Forums and visit their Android sections for this kind of information.
