Anonymous Reader writes “Mar. 25, 2002 Trolltech today announced the general availablility of an SDK for developing applications using Qtopia , a Linux-based application environment for mobile embedded devices.
Qtopia provides the application platform for Sharp’s recently introduced Zaurus SL-5500 Linux-based PDA, and Trolltech expects other recent design wins to result in the introduction of 8-10 additional new consumer products during 2002. Sharp’s Zaurus SL-5500 is the first PDA from a major power in consumer electronics to ship with embedded Linux. Qtopia is intended for use in PDAs, smartphones, Internet appliances, and other mobile devices running Embedded Linux. The product includes a set of applications for productivity, information management, Internet content, entertainment, and synchronization across multiple desktop operating systems. These include an address book, calendar, to do list, text editor, MPEG and MP3players, international city clock, asteroids game, Mine Hunt, Go, plus many more.
