Hi,
I got a reply from Trolltech that said the desktop for OS X ..well, here's the
reply itself:

 "Hi Ronald, yes we are building a Qtopia desktop for MacosX, it's written in Qt
3.0.x so it easy to get up and running. However, the biggest problem just now
are the mising USB drivers for MacOSX for sync with Zaurus, I just heard Sharp
has commissioned someone to write them, so when these are ready then the Qtopia
desktop part is also available".
