Is QTopia tracking the Trusted Computing Group Open Specification for Mobile
Phone Security (https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/groups/mobile )?
Are there controls within QTopia to ensure that applications loaded on the
phone are benign? I'm not talking about Java, which has its own sandbox.

you can always use selinux, and you can always use standard linux
file system encryption techniques, standard and freely available
wireless encryption - the possibilities are endless, and limited by your
own imagination and your end-users stupidity.
they don't require some 4-bit operating system from a 2-bit company
that doesn't care 1 bit (microsoft) to twist manufacturer's arms and
lock you out of your own hardware.
treachorous computing is always a good way to circumvent the freedoms
given by the GPL, circumventions which richard stallman is doing his best
to end, which the current kernel developers are doing their stupidest
to disrail.
the question you need to ask yourself is: are _you_ going to do [the
same or better than] the treachorous computing security?

Yes. We call it Secure Execution Environment "SXE".
