Free Linux phones being given to Qtopia developers

Trolltech is interested in bringing developers to their smart phone platform, and they are willing to give away free phones to do it.

"Trolltech will provide free phones and SDKs (software development kits) to developers willing to target its Qtopia application development framework for mobile phones. The Qtopia Greenphone Grant Program will provide an unspecified number of awardees with Qtopia SDKs, along with Trolltech's open, Linux-based Greenphone target device."

I personally like the OpenMoko better (http://www.openmoko.org/), but perhaps that all goes back to the GTK vs Qt and even further to Gnome vs KDE.

Either way open == good.

Horray for linux.
