“Trolltech today announced the start of the Qtopia Greenphone Developer Challenge, a global contest for innovative development of Linux-based mobile phone applications. Entrants can create their applications using either the community or commercial version of Qtopia Phone Edition.”
Excellent.
agreed.
I will take this opportunity to ask a question.
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.
From this review:

“…This device may only be used with Trolltech’s Qtopia Software. You may not use this device in any other hardware/software combination other than in the combination of hardware and software that was delivered to you…”
Please read until the finish:
Nice that they fixed the license. 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.
Interesting, I will probobly attend but I need to speak with my boss first because I work at a mobile phone manufactor so this may collide with my own work.
