Qtopia stack

Trolltech has announced a new spin on its Qtopia software stack for Linux-based devices.
The as-yet unnamed Qtopia stack has a nifty unified messaging application stack acquired with Fonav,
and will be supported initially by a VoIP, IM, and email-enabled kitchen communication center reference
design from semiconductor giant Broadcom.


Trolltech's new Qtopia stack uses a unified messaging application stack acquired with Trolltech's June
acquisition of Fonav. A vendor of Linux-based unified messaging software, Fonav originally wrote its
stack atop Qtopia, and former Fonav CEO Ram Fish now serves as Trolltech's GM of VoIP. The
Fonav-supplied stack is said to provide a highly unified inbox, with a single interface handling a variety
of standards-based communications protocols, including:


* Integrated SIP (session initiation protocol) VoIP messaging
* Jabber (XMPP) for instant messaging
* POP3 and IMAP email
* Presence-based address book aimed at letting users control how and when they reach others,
and are themselves reachable
