America's Leading Network Music and Internet Radio Provider Selects Qt for Its Next Generation Streaming Media Device

Oslo, Norway, March 11 - 2008 - Trolltech® announced today that Roku, Inc. has selected Qt for Embedded Linux® to be integrated into a soon-to-be-announced multimedia streaming product. Qt for Embedded Linux, formerly known as Qtopia® Core, is Trolltech's leading application framework for single-purpose devices powered by embedded Linux.

Qt for Embedded Linux is known for providing a robust and proven solution that enables manufacturers to efficiently deliver products with a unique user experience. Consumer electronics manufacturers such as Sony®, Royal Philips®, Panasonic® or industrial device manufacturer's such as Fluke Networks® are just a few examples of Qt for Embedded Linux customers.

"As on-demand digital media revolutionizes the home entertainment experience, the demand for connected, powerful, and easy-to-use Internet media players is taking off," said Tim Twerdahl, vice president of consumer products, Roku, Inc. "Trolltech's Qt for Embedded Linux allows us to create a rich interface for tomorrow's streaming media devices and get them to market quickly."

Roku chose Qt because of its ability to quickly create a rich user interface, providing an important time-to-market advantage. Qt also delivers the ability to support multiple operating systems and devices from a single codebase. As with all versions of Qt, developers are able to focus on building the core value of each product, instead of platform-specific maintenance. Qt also eliminates the need to invest resources in multiple languages, toolkits and environments.

About Qt for Embedded Linux

Qt for Embedded Linux supports the same API as Qt® on the desktop: a growing library of over 600 C++ classes, encapsulating a complete infrastructure for end-to-end application development. Qt for Embedded Linux benefits from Qt 4's latest technologies including standards compliant WebKit integration, multimedia framework, concurrency abstractionlinks, text rendering and multi-threading.
