QT Software renames platform

QT Software, a provider of software platforms for building graphic user interfaces, has re-launched the Qtopia platform as Qt Extended 4.4, reports TMCnet.

QT Extended 4.4 is a software platform for creating user interfaces and applications for advanced consumer electronics based on Linux. It can be used to build innovative services and applications, which can then be extended across all major desktop, mobile and other embedded platforms without rewriting the code.

The Qt WebKit Integration feature of the software enables device manufacturers to enrich applications with live Web content such as online maps, music stores and instant messaging.

3Tera, Windows in the clouds

3Tera, a manufacturer of cloud computing technology and utility computing services, has released the beta availability of AppLogic 2.4, which includes support for virtual appliances running Microsoft Windows Server, says Market Watch.

The new functionality is available immediately both as a service in the cloud and as private clouds in enterprise data centres.

Adding Windows to AppLogic's existing support of Linux, Sun's Open Solaris and Solaris 10, follows 3Tera's Cloudware architecture for open cloud computing, announced earlier this year.

T-Mobile offers open source phone

Scott Webster, founder of AndroidGuys, says Google's new handset is driving open source software development, and the T-Mobile G1's Android operating system is free to anyone to design applications, reports The Plainsman.

Cole Brodman, T-Mobile chief technology and innovation officer, says: “The T-Mobile G1 is our opportunity in the US to accelerate the mass adoption of the mobile Web, by unleashing Google innovation with a unique software experience that mobilises the Google services hundreds of millions of consumers rely on every day.”

The T-Mobile G1 will be released on 22 October.
