But qtopia is probably *better* than maemo.  Nobody said it's the best.

Nokia to acquire Trolltech to accelerate software strategy

Hm. What does this mean to the Qt distribution for the Neo? What does  
that mean to Maemo? Which one will be abandoned in the long run? Or  
will they merge? Or Qt for Nokia 810?

Nokia to acquire Trolltech to accelerate software strategy

2008-01-28 Thread Patrick Davila
I think the whole point of this takeover is Qtopia. Yes, the Nokia N800
series internet tablet uses Maemo (based on gtk). Correct me if I'm wrong
but aren't most of Nokia's cell phones running Symbian? Maybe buying
Trolltech is cheaper than continually licensing Symbian? Plus they have a
hell of lot more control in the direction of Qtopia  Qt.

Maybe not. But it's way more modern and flexible. *g*

There are versions of symbian out there which deserve the name operating 
system. But nobody uses them AFAIK.

And as good as nobody makes software for symbian.

I would haveloved if they went to the maemo platform. But qtopia is 
probably really the better choice for a phone.

About 50% of Symbian are owned by Nokia.
