I’ve used Qtopia SDK in the past to write software for embedded Linux devices such as the Sharp Zaurus PDA. I was always impressed with the simplicity of their development tools.

TrollTech the company behind Qtopia has been working on a Linux development phone (GSM/GPRS). The phone will be loaded with Qtopia Phone Edition.

This phone should be perfect for developers and entrepreneurs who like their phones to do more advanced things than just making phone calls and playing songs.

Your Linux phone could run a web server or SSH or even control your home appliances.. the possibilities are unlimited.

I am expecting this phone to ignite innovative ideas in the mobile devices industry..

Can we say mobile 2.0 madness is about to start?

According to CNet, The basic package—consisting of a phone, cables and source code will cost around $700

So do you want this phone or iPhone??
