Qt Trolltech announced that Qtopia Phone Edition has been ported to the Neo1973 mobile phone from FIC and open-source software provider OpenMoko and has been GPL'ed. Now, in addition to Trolltech's Qtopia GreenphoneT, developers have an additional reference platform and form factor for development and testing of new mobile Qtopia applications. Read on for more and a short Q&A with Benoit Schillings, CTO of Trolltech (also of BeOS fame as one of the original Be, Inc. engineers).

Great, but...

I like the fact that things are moving for linux in the mobile arena, but they keep saying they are for developers only...


I wonder how far away the day is when the geeks like me who aren't developers per se (though I do know some rudimentary Ruby through self teaching...)will be able to play with it as well and get to have some fun...

Until then, I guess I will just enjoy the pictures of the cool looking little phones...

So far it looks like this day will be Chrismas: (see "Phase 2")
