NEC Adds Linux Support to 3G Handsets
The Linux based handset platform vendor, Trolltech has announced that NEC will include Trolltech's Qtopia platform into its Medity 3G mobile phone solution. This reference integration is the first step toward the complete porting of Trolltech's newly announced Qtopia Greensuite #1 - a complete mobile smartphone software suite that provides customers with a pre-integrated selection of partner technology on top of Qtopia Phone Edition - to NEC Electronics' Medity solution on platformOViA.
The purpose of the Qtopia Greensuite- platformOViA reference integration is to provide joint customers with a solution that significantly reduces their efforts in targeting the rapidly expanding Linux smartphone market.
"We are thrilled to be the first 3G mobile phone solution vendor to profit from the strengths of Qtopia and the Qtopia Greensuite initiative," said Seiji Mitsuoka, vice president, System Software Development Operations Unit, NEC Electronics. "Integrating a complete software stack with our best-of-breed platformOViA will expand our product offering with the aim of further easing the device development cycle for our customers."
