QTopia is only one of several players in the Linux on a phone Market. I am thinking MontaVista with Motorola and others. Does anybody know how these different offerings stack up against each other? I am thinking here on usability, features or development.

I have tried to find an article on the internet about this, and I have not been able to find anything. Tue, 17 Apr 2007 09:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (martineriksen) Comments It has a horrendous license http://www.osnews.com/thread?231539 http://www.osnews.com/thread?231539 From this review:

Addendum
Shortly after publishing this review, we were contacted by Trolltech in regards to the concerns we had over the licensing of the Greenphone. As a response, Trolltech has since changed the wording in its licensing with respect to the openness of the hardware. The entire LinuxLookup.com team is pleased that Trolltech took our comments constructively and worked quickly to rectify the situation. We hope that these changes will help the Greenphone do well as an open mobile development platform and that many new free/open source projects flourish as a result.

Trolltech has a long history of having to be persuaded to do the right thing with licenses.

One would think that they'd have figured it out for themselves by now.
