</div>I would like to explain a bit more about this:<br>
<br>
We're not the only team that will work on the new focus. Stability<br>
should be greatly improved by the effort of FSO, and boot time is just<br>
another thing we would also like to improve.<br>
<br>
At the same time, we will work on fixing qtopia bugs as well, so if<br>
the problems you have is in trac already, we will look into them.<br>
