Hi,
I have tried and others have tried as well to cooperate with  
Trolltech on Qtopia. We had the famous
Frankfurt meeting and besides uncovered traveling expenses the result  
was that
the Australian Division rebelled against everything we had discussed.
In 2001 we wanted to produce Applications for a platform TT would  
control but we could
influence with our input/needs.
Again Trolltech rebelled against it, why should we now wait for  
Qtopia4? It is a matter
of fact that Trolltech does not want Free Software Developers to  
cooperate with them
on Qtopia (in contrast to Qt).

Besides that the Qtopia Platform (and yes Opie as well) is  
technically inferior to Symbian, Windows
Mobile and even Maemo. We are interested in changing the situation  
but sadly we can
not count on Trolltech for that so I'm heavily seeking for workable  
alternatives.

It is not that I'm keen on designing a new platform but I'm forced to  
- for my personal freedom...

now the lecture begings... that is all I have to say anyway

	regards
