LOS ANGELES, CTIA IT & Entertainment - September 12, 2006 -- Trolltech®, the company that makes software faster to build and easier to use, announced community support for Qtopia® Greenphone™, the first open Linux mobile device development device for application developers.

  • Opera Software: Opera's cross- platform Web browser technology
"Openwave and Trolltech share a commitment to Linux, which eases the application development process and promotes the rapid time to market of new applications and services," said Olivier Bartholot, vice president, product management, Openwave. "We are pleased to support Trolltech's Greenphone with Openwave's MIDAS engine and Mercury edition browser offered on the latest version of the Qtopia platform."

"Qtopia Phone Edition and the new Greenphone are important products that will increase quality and capabilities as well as lower development and qualification costs of Linux based mobile phones", said Jeff Ayars, vice president of Product Engineering, RealNetworks. "We are excited to have the world class 3GPP/3GPP2 multimedia capabilities of the Helix DNA Client pre-integrated on this platform for both commercial and open source developers."

"A great mobile experience is much more than just software specifications, APIs and UIs; it's about look and feel," says Timo Bruns, EVP Business Development, Opera Software. "Greenphone enables companies like Opera to develop and test software in its right environment on the phone, so we can optimize not only its performance, but the entire user experience."

"Qtopia's community of technology partners share our vision for delivering Linux-based tools and technologies for innovative devices and in the application development area," said David Bialer who heads Trolltech's Mobile and Embedded partner community. "Our combined efforts give handset manufacturers and application developers choice, flexibility and the freedom they require to customize mobile devices for their customers," he added.

Greenphone, which is now available to partners and software application developers, is offered as part of a complete software development kit (SDK) and includes Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition, a comprehensive application platform and user interface for Linux-based mobile phone.
