San Francisco, CA; LinuxWorld — (press release excerpt) — Trolltech and i3 micro technology today announced that Qt/Embedded, Trolltech's compact embedded Linux version of the Qt toolkit, will be included in i3's Mood Box, a set-top box. The Mood Box will be demonstrated at LinuxWorld in booth number 543.

The Mood Box, a next-generation set-top box, is designed to fit into any home, hotel room, or commercial setting by providing users with IP-based real-time TV, video-on-demand, pay-per-view, music-on-demand, Internet browsing, e-mail and more. The Mood Box is part of the Mood product family, which consists of set-top boxes, various streaming servers, and a management system.

Qt/Embedded provides i3 micro with the graphical layer necessary to display content and applications, including the Opera web browser. Qt/Embedded's scalability and modular environment provides a desktop-strength application environment for memory-constrained embedded Linux devices, such as the Mood Box.
