Qtopia Greenphone to Use Intel Processor

Intel XScale PXA27X Processor a Key Foundation of Trolltech's First Open Phone Development Platform

CTIA, Los Angeles, 12 September - 2006 - Trolltech®, the company that makes software faster to build and easier to use, announced that it has chosen the Intel® PXA27X processor as the multi-media processor on Qtopia® Greenphone™.

The Intel PXA27X microarchitecture offers a cost effective scalable processor that offers a top to bottom roadmap allowing device manufacturers to target multiple market segments. Using an architecturally consistent platform, starting with the Intel® PXA27x processor family and moving to the Intel’s forthcoming applications processor platform family, currently codenamed "Monahans", helps OXMs and ISVs get to market faster.

Qtopia® GreenphoneTM is a Linux mobile development device open for unlimited software innovation. Offered as part of a SDK, it comes with Qtopia Phone Edition. With Greenphone, software developers have a Linux development environment on a working GSM/GPRS device making it easier to create, modify, extend and test their applications.

"With the introduction of Greenphone, the adoption of Linux as a major operating system for mobile phones can be greatly accelerated," said Barry Evans, General Manager of Intel's Cellular & Handheld Application Process Business Unit, Intel Corporation. "The Greenphone allows software developers to test their software on the Intel® PXA27X processor family today with the Trolltech's Qtopia 4.X and be ready for the Monahans processor family".

"The Intel PXA27X microarchitecture is a proven processor designed for the optimal balance of power, performance, and cost for complex devices", said Benoit Schillings, CTO, Trolltech. "The community support for Intel’s platform is impressive and we are pleased to have Intel as one of the first design partners on Greenphone".
