Windows Development Env. For Zaurus! Not from Metroworks...

The site\'s in Japanese, but babelfish it or check out the flash demo!  Pretty cool!  Can develop without Linux.

http://www.computex.co.jp/products/zaurus/...zaurus_demo.htm

The price is around 260 USD.  Not sure if this is available in English though.

It\'s in Japanese - if you look at the flash animation it looks pretty Japanese to me.

It also doesn\'t do much more than the existing cygwin solution as far as I can tell, other than provide a GUI and automatic creation of the basic files (like the MS VC++ wizard does) for various project types (screen size, Qtopia or no, etc.), and a link to the (non-commercial ??) Qtopia designer.

All this from one little flash demo, so I may be completely wrong ;-)

Trolltech released a non-commercial version of QT for Windows (including a non-commercial QT Designer) ages ago. It just so happens that it is for the same version of QT that the Sharp Zaurus QT/Embedded is based upon.

All links are here: http://dot.kde.org/993610099/
(The links are hard to find directly from Trolltech\'s site so it might disappear at some point)

QT Linguist was released under a BSD licence BTW: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/pre-releases/

I was more confused that Computex want you to pay for their IDE but that you can then only make GPL apps with it.

No, I think you are pretty much correct. That thing is a rip-off. A wizard based frontend for the cygwin tools. Designer is not even embedded but an external application. Linguist seems to be missing completely.
With Visual Studio or Delphi you can do this in a about a week of work.... not impressing.
