Nokia - TrollTech update
2008-01-29 17:32:00 More on the rationale I raised in a previous post on this buyout. But I think it misses a core point that I will get to in a minute. – Nokia is responding to tectonic market shifts. These days, when consumers buy digital content"such as music or a movie"they want to be able to pay for it once and move it easily between different devices they own. What’s more, analysts say, consumer expectations for software on phones have changed dramatically since Apple’s iPhone went on the market last year. Trolltech’s Qt technology addresses both issues, by allowing programs, services, and content to run easily on various devices while at the same time ensuring a consistent look and feel. That should help bring Nokia’s user experience more in line with Apple’s precedent-setting software interface. And it should also help the company more easily incorporate Web 2.0 services such as social networking into the mobile world. “This is the first in a series of ...

Nokia?s Trolltech Grab Hurts Rivals
2008-01-29 09:46:00 The software acquisition bolsters Nokia's perch in the mobile device arena, could further dismantle Motorola, and put pressure on Google At first glance, Nokia's (NOK) Jan. 28 purchase of a small Norwegian open-source software company seems a confusing strategic shift. After all, the world's largest maker of mobile phones has long resisted the idea of using the grassroots Linux operating system in handsets, favoring instead homegrown software in its mass-market models and the Symbian operating system in its top-of-the-line smartphones.

Trolltech releasing QT under GPL3
2008-01-19 12:42:00 Yesterday at the KDE developer conferences, Trolltech CEO Haavard Nord announced that the QT cross-platform developer toolkit is going to be released under GPL 3, this are really good news for KDE developers, and also for any developer who uses QT toolkit. So maybe we will soon will be able to see the "buy" button for QT disappear, and it will be easier for developers to release its job. I am not a lawyer but as far as I understand, this also means that nobody will be able to use QT to sell "closed code" applications, and all applications developed using QT will have to be under GPL 3, maybe I am wrong. But I do still think this are good news. via: arstechnica If you read the comments under the original article, it seems to be an addition to the other licenses options they already have, and it seems that If you want to have your software closed, you will still have the option to pay for QT and keep your application code for you. Maybe we need a lawyer's analysis here.
