Nokia bringing KDE to your phone

Bob Russell · 10-17-2005, 08:02 AM

Slashdot says today that "KDE could soon be making its way into your mobile phone. At aKademy in August David Carson and Deepika Chauhan from Nokia presented the work they've done in integrating KDE components into the latest version of the company's mobile phone software. Philip Rodrigues discusses this work with them on dot.kde.org."

While Nokia is happily presenting working Linux solutions, PalmSource is still secretive about its next-gen Palm OS. Could it be that PalmSource has already missed the train?

Err, to clarify, they're not using anything actually from KDE as it stands... They're using WebCore and JavaScriptCore (from Apple), which are based upon KDE, but are really quite different now.
