As TrollTech claims in its website, “Motorola has initially chosen Qtopia Core as the foundation for its E680 and A780 mobile phones”. These would be the latest in a series of handsets that Motorola is building on the Trolltech/Linux platform.
According to these news, Qtopia Core would be gaining momentum on the Motorola’s Linux platform scenario, Motorola announced its new Linux-based platform, MOTOMAGX, a couple of months ago.
Motorola is for sure the manufacturer that has made the most determined bid on Linux, as they had already released some line-up of handsets based on JUIX (an in house developed Linux+Java platform), Qtopia (by TrollTech) and MOTOMAGX.
MOTOMAGX seems to be an evolution of JUIX and could evolve to include Qtopia as its core.
