'''Qt Extended''' (named '''Qtopia''' before September 30, 2008) is an application [[computing platform|platform]] for [[embedded Linux]]-based mobile computing devices such as [[personal digital assistant]]s, [[video projector]]s and [[mobile phone]]s. It was initially developed by [[The Qt SoftwareCompany]], at the time known as Qt Software and a subsidiary of [[Nokia]]. When they cancelled the project the [[free software]] portion of it was forked by the community and given the name '''Qt Extended Improved'''. The '''QtMoko''' [[Debian Squeeze|Debian]]-based distribution is the natural successor to these projects as continued by the efforts of the [[Openmoko]] community.<ref>[http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/QtMoko QtMoko page] on the [[Openmoko]] Wiki.</ref><ref>[httphttps://sourceforge.net/projects/qtmoko/ QtMoko distribution] on [[SourceforgeSourceForge]].com.</ref>
