Espoo, Finland - Qt Software today announced that Qtopia, a platform
for creating user interfaces and applications for advanced consumer
electronics based on Linux, has been renamed and launched as Qt
Extended 4.4.

Qt enables developers to build innovative services and applications
once and then extend the innovation across all major desktop, mobile
and other embedded platforms without rewriting the code. Qt Extended
extends the Qt application development framework, bringing increased
functionality to embedded Linux. Qt Extended inherits the Qt WebKit
Integration, which helps device manufacturers enrich applications
with live web content such as online maps, music stores and instant
messaging.

"Qt Extended is designed to accelerate software development for a
wide range of consumer devices, such as video IP phones, media
players and other advanced devices," said Sebastian Nyström, Vice
President of Qt Software, Nokia. "With the new release of Qt
Extended, we are making it easier to differentiate the user
experience and the feature set."

Core features of the Qt Extended 4.4 release are:
-          Modular architecture for feature selection
-          Advanced touch based user interface
-          IP communications framework based on Telepathy - Instant
Messaging (XMPP) and presence
-          Unified inbox for email, SMS, MMS, IM, etc. plus push IMAP
email and other messaging enhancements
-          New Qt UI Test, a tool for automated system tests of the
target device

Qt Extended 4.4 includes a new Video IP Desk phone reference design
which demonstrates an Internet-connected video desk phone UI for
finger touch interaction for 3.5" screens. The objective of the
reference design is to illustrate the versatility of Qt Extended.

Qt, originally developed by Trolltech, is a proven development
framework for multiple operating systems. It is used by many leading
consumer brands and is found in embedded Linux devices. In June 2008,
Nokia completed the acquisition of Trolltech and it is now a fully
integrated entity within the Nokia Devices unit, called Qt Software.
