Qtopia Core for Motorola's MOTOMAGX

Trolltech has announced an expanded agreement with Motorola regarding the use of Qtopia Core as the native application development platform for Motorola's MOTOMAGX Linux-based mobile phone platform. As part of the agreement, Motorola will now distribute and promote a no-cost, native Linux Software Development Kit (SDK) based on Qtopia Core to their MOTODEV development community. In addition, Motorola will begin to allow native applications developed with the Qtopia-based SDK to run on a selection of upcoming MOTOMAGX-based phones. MOTOMAGX supports several different application environments, including Qtopia-based SDK for native Linux development and Java ME with WebUI.

To date they have shipped over 9 million Linux and Qtopia based phones, and now as they deploy MOTOMAGX-based phones around the world, we are going to see that number skyrocket.
