OpenMoko, the project that creates not only a Linux operating system for phones but the hardware to run it as well, has announced some major changes to its software stack. Traditionally a Gtk+ endeavour, this is all going to change rather drastically.

> darkside
hahahahaa! qt is not dark, it's opensource, run by a really nice group of _people_ that have been very supportive to the freesoftware movement. you make it sound like it is microsoft. shame on what ever being that calls a useful gpl code producing entity 'darkside'.
i think qt is a good thing for opensource, and opensource mobile, it's a pity it didn't became the standard in the first place.
> GTK has its advantages (the license for example).
i dont see any underlaying advantages. if you want to write a freesoftware app with qt its cool and free. if you want to write a commercial app you pay a little (yes it is not much taking in to regard what the developer cost are for a commercial app). with the money trolltech^H^H^H^H^Hnokia actually does something: they develop the most kickass cross platfrom toolkit available. i only see everyone benefit here.
i dont work for troll^H^H^H^Hnokia, i do code some kde app, i did try gtk and gnome development and based on experience with the two of then decided to develop my app on qt/kde as it develops a lot faster for me.
