Qt/Qtopia / Trolltech Launches Qtopia Community Web Site

« on: April 25, 2005, 06:29:39 pm »

PALO ALTO, Calif. - April 25 2005
Trolltech Expands Industry Leadership Role with New Site Devoted to Promoting Software Development for the Qtopia/Embedded Linux Platform

Trolltech®, provider of leading technologies for Linux and cross-platform software development, today announced the launch of Qtopia.net, a new community Web site devoted to Qtopia®, the company's market-leading development software for Linux-based devices. Qtopia.net is designed to be a central resource for the growing ecosystem of Qtopia customers, developers and users, providing comprehensive technical information, the latest downloads and a forum for knowledge sharing. Qtopia.net is available on the Web at http://qtopia.net.

"Qtopia's position as the standard development environment for embedded Linux devices is becoming more established every day," said Haavard Nord, Trolltech CEO. "The open source community has a strong interest in creating third-party applications built on Qtopia, and Qtopia.net is designed to encourage and support this work by increasing information accessibility.

Qtopia.net provides easy access to a wide range of information about Qtopia software, related third-party software and Trolltech partners. Qtopia tutorials, Web forums and the latest Qtopia news are available. In addition, users can get access to both GPL and commercial Qtopia downloads, a special, PDA-specific version of Qtopia and Zaurus ROM images.
