Excellent. Until this constant bickering ceases on the mailing lists I 
will be using and developing for the Qtopia platform which so far seems 
to be setting the pace as far as usable software platforms are concerned.

For those who aren't aware, there is a very good Qtopia SDK especially 
for the Neo architecture available from the Qtopia website.

Many thanks,
Aaron
