The Qtopia Phone Edition 2.2 from Trolltech will now have Wi-Fi support. Trolltech makes application development platforms for Linux devices. Apart from phones, makers of handheld devices such as PDAs and media players are also keen to incorporate Wi-Fi into their products. Although the present version of the Qtopia phone does not support roaming between mobile networks and Wi-Fi networks, the newer versions will be capable of doing so and providing a more converged solution for bringing together VoIP and mobile networks.
Apart from Trolltech, Cicero Networks is also developing IP-based support to provide convergence. However, its offering is not compatible with Linux devices. Along with support for VoIP, Qtopia also provides facilities such as support for streaming MP3 audio files and better documentation for users. Motorola and ZTE are two users of Qtopia.
