According to the company's regional director for Southeast Asia sales, Hektor Tung, Garmin-ASUS is going to ditch their custom made Linux OS (currently used only on their G60 GPS, that should appear in Q3).

Although you would think that their GPS devices will overlap the existing Google Maps solution a reprezentative of Asustek is convinced that there's enough space on the market for both solutions.

Robert Szeleney gave another update in regard to the development halt of SkyOS:

For the last weeks and as it looks like quite a few more weeks I'm in contact with a lot of people talking about their
ideas to continue SkyOS development. Unfortunately many people completely underestimate the amount of work required to manage a development team for SkyOS, either an open or closed source version, or completely lack vision and or motivation and or seriousness. Anyway, I'm still reading through my inbox hoping to get in contact with people with real motives and knowledge being able to bring SkyOS to the next level.

Trolltech, Nokia, Qt Software released QT 4.5 and the final (1.0) version of QT Creator.

From the announcement:

Qt 4.5 is setting the benchmark for application development,” said Benoit Schillings, Chief Technologist, Qt Software, Nokia. “With the performance improvements in Qt, the introduction of Qt Creator, and the release of the Qt SDK, developers looking for a native or a hybrid native/web application framework now have the power and flexibility they need.

The biggest feature of this new release is a text editor: EDIT.BIN.
Unfortunately it's very basic (like notepad) and you have to convert your dos files to the unix style format using the dos2unix command on a linux box, or use something similar.

Changelog:

# New program: EDIT.BIN -- a full-screen text editor (currently
limited to Unix-formatted text files)

# README.TXT is no longer copied to the disk images; instead,
programs/sample.txt is added for use in EDIT.BIN

# CLI now includes CAT command to display a file: 'CAT FOO.TXT'
