Nokia to Acquire Trolltech to Accelerate Software Strategy

Nokia has agreed to acquire Trolltech ASA, an Oslo, Norway-based developer of software development platforms and frameworks, for NOK 16 a share. Trolltech's products include Qt, a framework for cross-platform application development, and Qtopia, an application platform and user interface for Linux devices. Nokia plans to continue development of Trolltech's technology, support new and existing customers, and continue its open source community activities. Nokia will also use Trolltech technology to support its software strategy for devices based on horizontal, cross-platform layers that run across multiple vertical platforms; examples of current cross-platform layers include Web runtime, Flash, Java™, and Open C. The acquisition would also expand Trolltech's Qt technology from PCs to mass-volume mobile devices, and increase the competitiveness of Nokia's Series 40 and S60 developer platforms. Pending regulatory approval, the deal is expected to close in the second quarter.
