Trolltech expands to Germany
This is a sign that it's going well for Trolltech, being the preferred choice for Linux-based GUI on mobile devices.
Oddly, many talk about Linux's main benefit being that it's free, but obviously Qt/Embedded, Qtopia and other mobile applications aren't, so the cost might not be that different from other solutions after all. What's a big difference between Linux and proprietary or licensed systems though is that there's so much that can be re-used, yet the manufacturers can also add its own functionality to the system. Something that Japanese Access has taken to heart.
