Trolltech has updated and renamed its graphics toolkit and development kit for embedded Linux devices. “Qtopia Core” is based on a Linux port of the company’s Qt 4.0 development framework, and replaces its earlier Qt/Embedded product. It targets “single-application products” built on embedded Linux.

Damn! If I’d have patented “Core” I’d be rich by now
is Core the new “innovate” which replaced the bubble’s “synergy”?
Yes! Play with us: http://www.bullshitbingo.net/cards/bullshit/ 😉
Maybe everyone should just jump on the bandwagon… then at least we have a breadth-wise label across this mini-techno generation. How ’bout “vista core” and…
dare I say it? the new macs could be…
“Apple core”

It’s called a trademark, not a patent. You can’t patent a name. The USPTO may be filled with idiots, but I don’t think they’re quite that incompetent yet 😛
KDE has kde-core-devel since years already 😉
I like it.
I’ve seen QT/Embedded in action on a ~133 MHz-or-so colour PDA with a decent-resolution screen running on embedded Linux, and the performance is truly impressive considering the hardware it’s running on.
I’d like to see GTK+ try to do the same. 😀

Yet Linux is still Poo, huh?
huh, I was shocked to see him say something like that.
I mean, how can you be so disrespectful having a name claiming something like that. Couldn’t you choosen a more neutral name???

Read it again, the first part was fine by itself. But adding the last sentence I don’t think it was anything but a lame attempt to create a Qt vs GTK+ flamefest. Trolling as usuall.
As a desktop OS? You bet.
It has its uses in embedded environments, though. My two WRT54G’s run 3rd-party firmware that gives you full access to the Linux system underneath, and I quite like it.
Qtopia is frequently thought of as a PDA like interface for phones / pda devices. I think this will cause confusion to traditional embedded companies that look for application frameworks for their devices which do not fall anywhere near the definition of a pda.

Changed the name TrollTech, in-name joke “Troll”, and dated buzz word, “tech”, Unless of course it was set up by a load of trolls, I suppose..
