I've not looked at opie yet. I'm mainly doing Qtopia so that I can get
the desktop app done. I figured in doing so I'd learn more about how
Qtopia is done and whether or not I really liked it. :) Knowing how
trolltech handles things opie will probably build a hell of alot better
than qtopia. Maybe we should figure out what is prefered for the Zaurus
project. I'm going to keep working on this until I either succeed or get
so fed up with it.
