Successful dual licensing business model further extended with Qtopia Open
Source Edition.
Oslo, Norway â December 14 â TrolltechÂ, the company that makes software
faster to build and easier to use, today announced the release of Qtopia
4.2.0. With the 4.2.0 release, Qtopia is now fully ready for converged
devices with enhanced telephony, VoIP and WiFi functionality. Other
highlights in the Qtopia 4.2.0 release include an enhanced multimedia player
based on the Helixâ DNAâ Client, basic MIDI support, ease of graphics design
with SVG support and support for second or multiple displays.
The Qtopia 4.2.0 release also offers the most extensive open source release
for the Qtopia product family to date, further fostering innovation in a
rapidly expanding Qtopia developer community. Qtopia Core â for
single-application embedded devices â has long been available under the
General Public License (GPL) and with this new release, open source is now
extended across the complete Qtopia product family.
Qtopia Open Source Edition contains everything that is in the commercial
source version, except Safe eXecution Environment (SXE) â the security
benefits of a âsandboxâ on the device with the benefits of a native
application approach â digital rights management (DRM) and telephony
components.
With the expanded Qtopia open source offering, Trolltech fully extends its
successful dual licensing business model throughout its product offerings.
âQtopia Greenphone, announced earlier this year, sparked an overwhelming level
of interest in the mobile device developer community,â said Adam Lawson,
product director, mobile and embedded solutions, Trolltech. âWith Qtopia Open
Source Edition, open source developers have yet another means to demonstrate
the innovation possible on mobile phones and other mobile devices.â
