release at this year’s LinuxTag event being held from 6th to 9th of June 2002
in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The framework originates from TrollTech’s Qtopia platform, thus being fully
binary compatible. OPIE features an improved usability and extended
applications as well as new productive software packages.

OPIE is currently available for Compaq iPAQs running the Familiar Linux
distribution and the Sharp Zaurus 5000/5500. Additional platforms are
considered and underway.

OPIE can be seen in action at the KDE booth on LinuxTag where the new
KitchenSync framework for KDE synchronisation will also be demonstrated.
