My brother Matthias is interested in the YOPY handheld.

Yes, it's very cool by TrollTech to release their Embedded-QT as GPL library!

Our whole backend does only depend on Sword and Qt (mainly we use the QString 
class for unicode support ).
If you want to integrate some frontend classes it's a little bit more work, 
but we do no use much KDE stuff. IMHO it sould be very easy to integrate the 
presenter classes etc. in a BT-micro edition, because we dropped the XML 
stuff of KDE in the presenters.

I'm sure my brother is interested very much in this!
