Free Linux handheld app stack to gain easier porting (LinuxDevices)

[Posted February 27, 2006 by ris]

LinuxDevices covers an application environment for Linux-based handheld and mobile devices. "The GPE (GPE palmtop environment) project is planning a "device abstraction" layer aimed at simplying (sic) new device ports, according to maintainer Florian Boor. The GPE project integrates a variety of free software components, including the X window system, GTK+ graphics toolkit, matchbox window manager, and MiniMo browser. It also maintains its own login and configuration programs, as well as widget and type libraries, screenshot and other utilities, and a PIM (personal information manager) application suite."
