Supports Intel Hardware and Universal Binaries
Qt is written without making assumptions about the number representation, endianness or architecture of the underlying processor. To support Intel hardware on the Apple platforms, Qt customers simply need to recompile their apps.
Note: Qt also provides support for 64-bit applications on top of Cocoa APIs.
