2 | <para> | ||
3 | Opie is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the Linux operating system (and | ||
4 | might work on other OSes as well). It was originally designed for handheld | ||
5 | computers (such as the Compaq/HP iPAQ and the Sharp Zaurus), but could | ||
6 | probably function well in other environments requiring a light GUI, such as an | ||
7 | old laptop, or an internet kiosk. It is based upon QT/Embedded from Trolltech, | ||
8 | which is in turn a graphical environment designed for embedded applications, | ||
9 | based upon the QT toolkit. | ||

12 | Opie has been designed for devices with small screens, and a touchscreen input | ||
13 | device (ie, only one mouse click, and no constant mouse position), as well as | ||
14 | designed to fit in a relatively small amount of storage space (about 5 megabytes | ||
15 | for the base libraries and the launcher). | ||
