LinuxLookup takes a look at the TrollTech Qtopia Greenphone and reviews the accompanying software development kit.

After having spent a fair bit of time with the Greenphone, it became clear to me that the goal of this device was to build and extend the Qtopia mobile platform community and provide a means for developing software for such a platform. Trolltech is attempting to “ride on the shoulders” of such a community, hoping that their new platform will take off. Some of the steps they are taking are very good, such as providing a downloadable Community SDK (with licensing limitation), so that a budding software developer can write and test code without having to invest the whopping $700 for the hardware. In my opinion, the platform definitely has potential, but as far as being a truly hacker friendly device, I think the above license agreement says it all.
