The Death of the Greenphone

phobos13013 writes "Trolltech announced this week that they will discontinue development on their Greenphone platform. The Greenphone was advertised to be the first phone with a user-modifiable environment. Trolltech CTO Benoit Schilling stated that they are not really a hardware company and so will focus their efforts on FIC's Neo 1973, now available. However, Schilling hinted at a future Wi-Fi-enabled endeavor (possibly a VOIP phone)."

    It would appear that they'e sold out...
    And yet they're quitting development?

    First, cynicsreport's post above mine should have at least gotten a score of 2 or 3. Read the post from beginning to end -- giving him/her a 1 is simply mislabeling that diligence. He doesn't mention S.o.A. but is clear enough on referring to API inclusiveness which is what most programmers today understand.

    My post: flamebait?? Perhaps off-topic but certainly not flame bait. Where is your rationale with calling me a flamebaiter? I am engendering communication and coordination on development issues and the ownership factors that affect them here. Everyone knows microshit has a long reach maybe they've gotten to the core beneficiaries of slashdot too.

    It's not my fault that <p> paragraph breaks sometimes don't work at the beginning of HTML posts and between italics mark-up. Fix the damn code!
